Abstract
PURPOSE: To present the development and psychometrics of a brief asthma self-management questionnaire for adults incorporating the five content areas considered essential for asthma self-management by the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program. DATA SOURCES: After development of the criterion-referenced questionnaire, determination of content validity, pilot testing, and revision, the questionnaire was administered to 305 adults with asthma. CONCLUSIONS: After exploratory principal component factor analysis, the final 24-item questionnaire had a reliability of .69, close to the preferred reliability of .70. IMPLICATIONS: The questionnaire is recommended for assessing self-management knowledge in clinical settings and for evaluation of asthma education programs.
