Area of Science:

  • Occupational Medicine
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Health Education

Background:

  • Screening for occupational asthma remains crucial.
  • Effective educational interventions require assessing patient knowledge.
  • Understanding patient knowledge is key to improving occupational asthma management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate Tunisian asthmatic patients' knowledge of occupational asthma.
  • To develop and validate a self-questionnaire in Arabic Tunisian dialect.
  • To provide a tool for assessing knowledge gaps and informing educational strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A self-questionnaire was developed following De Vellis's guidelines.
  • The questionnaire comprised 18 items across four dimensions: asthma knowledge, occupational asthma knowledge, prognosis, and prevention.
  • A pre-test and application to 107 asthmatic patients were conducted for validation.

Main Results:

  • The questionnaire demonstrated good psychometric properties, with 14 of 18 items showing discrimination value.
  • Internal consistency was confirmed with a KR20 index of 0.731.
  • Factor analysis supported the questionnaire's reliability and uni-dimensional structure.

Conclusions:

  • The validated Arabic questionnaire can assess occupational asthma knowledge in Tunisian patients.
  • It serves as a valuable tool for healthcare providers to identify knowledge deficits.
  • The questionnaire can enhance the effectiveness of future educational interventions for occupational asthma.
