Parents of children with asthma demonstrate low asthma knowledge, highlighting a need for improved educational initiatives. Higher knowledge levels were linked to steroid use and higher socioeconomic status.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Health Education
  • Social Determinants of Health

Background:

  • Asthma knowledge is crucial for effective asthma management and education.
  • Understanding parental knowledge levels is key to developing targeted interventions.
  • Factors influencing asthma knowledge require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess asthma knowledge among parents of asthmatic children.
  • To identify factors associated with varying levels of parental asthma knowledge.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study conducted with 67 parents using a validated 31-item asthma knowledge questionnaire.
  • Data collected included child and parent demographics, medication details, asthma history, environmental exposures, and socioeconomic status.

  • Children's asthma severity was classified to correlate with parental knowledge.

    • Main Results:

    • The average asthma knowledge score was 15.5 out of 31.
    • Parents whose children used steroids showed significantly higher asthma knowledge (p=0.03).
    • Asthma knowledge correlated positively with steroid dosage (r=0.29, p=0.02) and was higher in parents of higher economic status.

    Conclusions:

    • Low overall asthma knowledge underscores the necessity for enhanced parental education programs.
    • Steroid usage and dosage emerged as significant indicators of higher parental asthma knowledge.
    • Higher socioeconomic status likely contributes to increased asthma knowledge, potentially due to educational attainment.
