Brief Summary

Asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation characterized by time-varying respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough, with limitation of expiratory airflow. These variations are often triggered by exercise, exposure to allergens or an irritation, weather changes or viral respiratory diseases (Karakış, 2018). Increased respiratory distress decreases the patient's activity, decreases the condition and makes the individual dependent in daily life. In the studies conducted in asthma patients, the cases stated that they perceived their illness as an obstacle against physical activity and thus they were pushed to immobility (Kırtay \& Oğuz, 2011). In the literature, no study on the variable of kinesiophobia in asthma was found. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia and physical activity level and quality of life in asthma patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TSK)

  The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) that was developed in 1990 is a 17 item scale originally developed to measure the fear of movement related to chronic lower back pain. The TSK consists of 17 questions.A score of 17 is the lowest possible score, and indicates no kinesiophobia or negligible. A score of 68 is the highest possible score and indicates extreme fear of pain with movement.

• International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF)

  The International Physical Activity Questionnaire short-form (IPAQ-SF) is one of the most widely used self-report questionnaires to assess PA. IPAQ-SF is a self-report questionnaire that assesses PA in the last 7 days \[9-10\]. Using the IPAQ-SF scoring system, the total number of days and minutes of PA were calculated for each participant as recommended in the IPAQ website \[32\]. The IPAQ-SF records the activity in four intensity levels: sitting, walking, moderate intensity (e.g., leisure cycling), and vigorous intensity (e.g, running or aerobics). MET method was used to determine the level of physical activity. Standard values for these activities were established. The generated values are expressed as follows; Severe Physical Activity = 8.0 MET, Moderate Severe Physical Activity = 4.0 MET, Walking = 3.3 MET, Sitting = 1.5 MET. Using these values, daily and weekly physical activity levels are calculated.

• Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ)

  The Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) was developed to measure the functional problems (physical, emotional, social and occupational) that are most troublesome to adults (17-70 years) with asthma. Participants were asked to score the importance of each of the positively identified problems (0= not important - 4 = very important). The highest scoring problems were the same for both men and women, for patients with a wide range of asthma severity (no medication to oral steroids) and in different age groups.

Interventions

Questionnaire OTHER

Firstly, demographic information (name-surname, date of birth, gender, age, height, body weight, dominant hand, family structure, social security, educational status, occupation, smoking, alcohol use, assistive device drug use, resume, surname, complaints). Data collection tools will then be applied to patients by face to face interview technique. Evaluation of kinesiophobia Assessment of quality of life in asthma patients with TAMPA questionnaire Assessment of physical activity level with Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) Assessment of physical activity level with International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ) is planned.
