Asthma is the most common chronic disease among children. The management of asthma in children requires ongoing effort and is heavily dependent on the effectiveness of family management. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Family Management Scale for Children with Asthma (FMSCA) by adapting it to Turkish.
This methodological research comprised 293 parents between December 2020 and May 2021. Inclusion criteria were having a child with a diagnosis of asthma for more than six months, being literate, and not having problems in communication. FMSCA was examined for language, content and construct validity. Internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach's α coefficient, item-total correlation, and test-retest equivalence. Ethical principles were adhered to.
The content validity index scores of the items in the FMSCA ranged from 0.90 to 1.0. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was determined to be 0.965 and the Bartlett's Test of Sphericity value was χ = 18,296.335 ( ≤ .001). Many indices were used to examine the fit of the FMSCA model. Of these, the χSD value was determined to be 1.61. The total FMSCA Cronbach α coefficient was 0.981. The relationship between the test-retest results was statistically significant, high, and positive ( < .05).
FMSCA is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to objectively evaluate family management in families with children with asthma and to determine the effectiveness of interventions.
哮喘是儿童中最常见的慢性疾病。儿童哮喘的管理需要持续努力，并且严重依赖家庭管理的有效性。本研究旨在通过将其改编为土耳其语来评估儿童哮喘家庭管理量表（FMSCA）的有效性和可靠性。
这是一项方法学研究，共纳入 2020 年 12 月至 2021 年 5 月的 293 名家长。纳入标准为孩子被诊断患有哮喘超过 6 个月、具有读写能力且沟通无障碍。对 FMSCA 进行了语言、内容和结构有效性的评估。采用 Cronbach's α 系数、项目总分相关性和测试-重测等效性来计算内部一致性。研究遵循了伦理原则。
FMSCA 中各项的内容有效性指数得分范围为 0.90 至 1.0。Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin 值为 0.965，Bartlett 球形检验值 χ = 18,296.335（ ≤ .001）。许多指数用于检查 FMSCA 模型的拟合度。其中，χSD 值为 1.61。FMSCA 的总 Cronbach α 系数为 0.981。测试-重测结果之间的关系具有统计学意义、高度相关性和正相关性（ < .05）。
FMSCA 是一种有效且可靠的工具，可用于客观评估哮喘儿童家庭的家庭管理情况，并确定干预措施的有效性。
