Sara Bousema

Sara Bousema is a Researcher in the Department of General Practice at Erasmus MC, Erasmus University Rotterdam, specializing in pediatric asthma management within primary care settings. Her work bridges clinical practice and research to optimize asthma control assessment and interventions for children.

Her primary research domains include asthma control metrics, primary health care delivery, systematic evaluation of asthma control tests, and quality-of-life impacts. She investigates discrepancies between children's and parents' perceptions of asthma control and develops structured nurse-led care protocols for pediatric asthma management in community settings.

Analysis of her publications reveals a consistent trajectory toward practical clinical solutions: early work established measurement frameworks (2018-2019), followed by systematic validation of tools (2023), and culminating in current research on perceptual gaps between caregivers and children (2025). This progression demonstrates increasing sophistication in addressing real-world challenges of pediatric asthma control within resource-constrained primary care environments.
