The Pediatric Asthma kNowleDge and mAnagement (PANDA) questionnaires for children and parents are valid and reliable tools. These PANDA questionnaires demonstrate good comprehension and length for asthma management research and practice.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Pulmonology
- Health Outcomes Research
- Asthma Management
Background:
- Asthma knowledge and management are crucial for pediatric patients.
- Validated tools are needed to assess asthma knowledge in children and their parents.
- Existing tools may not adequately capture the nuances of pediatric asthma management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the validity, feasibility, and reliability of the newly developed Pediatric Asthma kNowleDge and mAnagement (PANDA) questionnaires.
- To establish PANDA questionnaires as suitable instruments for assessing asthma knowledge in children, teenagers, and parents.
- To provide a reliable tool for both research and clinical practice in pediatric asthma care.
Main Methods:
- Development of three PANDA questionnaires for children, teenagers, and parents.
- Expert review for face and content validity using the Scale-Content Validity Index (S-CVI).
- Feasibility and reliability assessment through test-retest using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) with 84 participants.
Main Results:
- The PANDA questionnaires demonstrated satisfactory face validity, comprehension, and length.
- Content validity was confirmed with a total S-CVI of 0.91 for Children and Parents questionnaires.
- Reliability was established with ICC scores above 0.7 for total scores and above 0.5 for individual topics, indicating consistency.
Conclusions:
- The PANDA questionnaires are valid, feasible, and reliable for assessing pediatric asthma knowledge and management.
- Established face and content validity, along with strong reliability, support the use of PANDA questionnaires.
- Further validation, including construct validity and responsiveness, is recommended; PANDA tools are suitable for research and clinical application.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
