Abstract
Background: Pediatric asthma is a serious public health problem around the world. Caregivers’ knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) toward asthma constitute a major factor in helping to achieve successful asthma control in children. The study was conducted to identify the relationship between the status of asthma control and caregivers’ knowledge, attitude, and practice toward childhood asthma.
Methods: A cross - sectional descriptive study was conducted on 84 children with asthma, receiving controller treatment for at least 1 month and 84 caregivers at the Department of Pulmonology, Immunology and Allergology, Pediatric Center, Hue Central Hospital from May 2021 to August 2022. Asthma control was defined by GINA: well controlled, partly controlled and uncontrolled. Caregivers were interviewed with a set of questionaire developed on former studies to assess knowledge (28 questions), attitudes (12 questions), and practice (15 questions) toward pediatric asthma.
Results: Suboptimal asthma control was observed in 66.7% of the children, twice as much as that of children with well control (33.3%). Caregivers with good asthma knowledge, attitude and practice had significantly higher status of well childhood asthma control than in the other group s (OR 21,0; 75,6 and 20,4 respectively).
Conclusions: Caregivers’ KAP toward childhood asthma were significantly associated with and affected the levels of childhood asthma control
