The aim of this study is to establish asthma knowledge of parents of children (0-18 years) with asthma at the outpatient clinic.
A translated and adapted a 21 item Likert type 5 point scale questionnaire (Cronbach's α-coefficient 0.73) was completed by 291 parents of children with asthma. Total asthma knowledge scores were associated with demographic and psychosocial variables.
Factor analysis resulted in a new reduced 10 item questionnaire (Cronbach's α-coefficient 0.72). Higher educational level of parents was associated with better asthma knowledge (p < 0.008 and p < 0.003). Parents showed more knowledge (p < 0.001) on non-medication questions. Asthma knowledge of the parent did not correlate with child age, gender, duration of airway problems, time since diagnosis or severity of asthma.
Education of parents concerning the working mechanism, indications and use of asthma medications are an essential part of asthma education. Asthma education should be repeated frequently to parents of children with long-term airway problems or diagnosed asthma. Special attention must be paid to parents with only high school education or less.
本研究旨在了解门诊就诊的哮喘患儿（0 - 18岁）家长对哮喘的认知情况。
291名哮喘患儿的家长完成了一份经过翻译和改编的21项李克特5点量表问卷（克朗巴哈α系数为0.73）。哮喘知识总分与人口统计学和社会心理变量相关。
因子分析得出一份新的简化版10项问卷（克朗巴哈α系数为0.72）。家长受教育程度越高，对哮喘的认知越好（p < 0.008和p < 0.003）。家长在非药物问题上表现出更多的知识（p < 0.001）。家长的哮喘知识与孩子的年龄、性别、气道问题持续时间、确诊时间或哮喘严重程度无关。
对家长进行哮喘药物作用机制、适应证及使用方法的教育是哮喘教育的重要组成部分。对于有长期气道问题或已确诊哮喘患儿的家长，应经常重复进行哮喘教育。必须特别关注高中及以下学历的家长。
