Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Asthma Health Literacy Scale for Children (AHLSC) (Aged 8-12)

  The initial form of the scale was developed with 28 items; as a result of validity and reliability analyses, a structure consisting of 19 items and 2 sub-dimensions was obtained. The scale is 4-point Likert type, and response options are 1=Never, 2=Sometimes, 3=Often, 4=Always. Each item is scored between 1-4, and the minimum score obtainable from the scale is 19, and the maximum is 76. As the total score increases, the asthma health literacy level of children diagnosed with asthma increases. There are no reverse-scored items in the scale. The developed scale is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the health literacy levels regarding asthma in children aged 8-12.Participants were reached via an online survey form. Study data were collected using a "Asthma Health Literacy Scale for Children" filled out by the children themselves.
