LEONARDO CABELLO, M. T. et al. Assessment of parental asthma knowledge with the Newcastle Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.58, pp.117-126. ISSN 1139-7632.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1139-76322013000200003.

Objective: to determine the level of asthma knowledge in parents of asthmatic children followed in a pediatric respiratory ward. Material and methods: descriptive and cross-sectional study. Asthma Knowledge was assessed using the Newcastle Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire (NAQK). We performed a questionnaire to parents and other relatives of asthmatic children treated in the pediatric pulmonary ward of a tertiary hospital. The surveys were conducted between September and November 2009. Results: the sample consisted of 344 questionnaires. The mothers answered 72.7%, the fathers 14.9%, both parents filled the questionnaire in 6.7% and 5.8% were filled by a different person. Patients were 203 boys (59%) and 141 girls (41%) with a mean age of 8 ± 4 years. The average score was 18.5 ± 3.7 points out of 31. Conclusions: our respondents have obtained higher mean score compared to similar samples in other studies. Nevertheless we believe that an educational intervention can improve asthma knowledge and help decrease the morbidity of this chronic disease.
