Dear Editor,Childhood asthma is a leading health problem that reasons for vast hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality throughout the world.[1] Literature reports focus on family management of this disease.[2] Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the awareness of parents/guardians about the disease. In this study, Likert scale questionnaire consisting of 90 questions was served to the parents/guardians accompanying the patients to the Emergency Department (ED) of our University. The correlations between ED admissions and the level of knowledge of the parents/guardians were investigated. Pearson correlation was calculated between the admission frequency and the awareness as a measure of being “aware” or “not aware”. The scores were correlated with the number of ED visits by asthmatic children (r = −0.239, P = 0.046). Our sample included 90 participants. The percentage of illiteracy among the respondents was 12.2. For 70 participants, we calculated Pearson correlation between parents/guardians’ awareness and the admission frequency and the analysis showed a negative correlation of (−0.239, P = 0.046) between the two variables. The questions were classified into three categories as per the original article.[3] The first category constituted seven questions on knowledge of the use of inhalers.[4] The second category constituted six questions, on the etiological factors and the need for hospitalization and use of medicines.[5] The third category constituted four questions; on the participation of asthmatic children in exercise, sports, and smoking at home.[6] Each category was scored separately and then the sum of all categories was calculated. Taken together, negative association was found between the ED visits and the total score of the categories. Nevertheless, the inconclusive results obtained in this study might be related to the small sample size. We recommend further studies to be conducted on a larger sample size.
