To assess understanding of numerical concepts in asthma self-management instructions, a 4-item Asthma Numeracy Questionnaire (ANQ) was developed and read to 73 adults with persistent asthma. Participants completed the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (STOFHLA), 12(16%) answered all 4 numeracy items correctly; 6(8%) answered none correctly. Participants were least likely to understand items involving risk and percentages. Low numeracy but not STOFHLA score was associated with a history of hospitalization for asthma. At higher STOFHLA levels there was a wide range of the total number of correct numeracy responses. Numeracy is a unique and important component of health literacy.
为评估哮喘自我管理指南中数字概念的理解情况，研发了一份包含4个条目的哮喘数字能力问卷（ANQ），并念给73名持续性哮喘成人患者听。参与者完成了成人功能性健康素养简短测试（STOFHLA），12人（16%）正确回答了所有4个数字能力条目；6人（8%）全部答错。参与者最不容易理解涉及风险和百分比的条目。数字能力低而非STOFHLA分数与哮喘住院史相关。在较高的STOFHLA水平上，正确数字能力回答的总数有很大差异。数字能力是健康素养中一个独特且重要的组成部分。
