Abstract

The Chronic Childhood Asthma's Self-Efficacy Scale for parental long-term management (P-CASES) was developed and its reliability and validity were evaluated. A pilot version of P-CASES consisting of 24-items was tentatively constructed on the basis of past literature and children's developmental stage. Then, it was used in a questionnaire survey conducted with parents having hospitalized chronic asthmatic children (n = 179 ). An explanatory factor analysis on the pilot P-CASES revealed four factors comprised of 12 items. P-CASES also had an adequate index of fitness, and internal consistently (Cronbach's alpha .74), as well as adequate reliability. Construct validity was examined by structural equation modeling that revealed a significant relationship between P-CASES and the burden of long-term asthma management and asthmatic symptom control. These findings indicate that P-CASES is a clinically useful tool for evaluating SE for long-term parental management of chronic childhood asthmatic patients in the constant standards.
