ABSTRACT

El asma, según estudios epidemiológicos internacionales, es una enfermedad muy prevalente en la infancia y adolescencia. Actualmente existen fármacos muy eficaces para el control de la sintomatología y de las exacerbaciones, por lo que se asume que la morbilidad que acompaña al asma infantil es, la mayor parte de las veces, evitable y que es posible alcanzar un buen control de la enfermedad en hasta un 90% de los casos. Esta no es la realidad: en la práctica, menos de la mitad de los pacientes alcanzan ese objetivo. Es preciso un esfuerzo de los profesionales para actualizar conocimientos y adaptar la organización de la asistencia a las necesidades de los pacientes, recordando que el tratamiento del asma incluye el seguimiento clínico regular, la educación en el autocontrol, medidas para evitar los desencadenantes y tratamiento farmacológico, y que solo se alcanzarán los objetivos de control mediante el ajuste del tratamiento y el examen periódico de la respuesta obtenida, incluida la efectividad y los efectos secundarios. El pediatra de Atención Primaria, por su accesibilidad y conocimiento del niño y su familia, está en la situación ideal para conseguir estos objetivos. Esta mesa abordará a través de casos clínicos el tratamiento del asma en el siempre controvertido tema del niño pequeño, en el escolar y adolescente (AU)

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Parents'/caregivers' quality of life is an important aspect to consider when handling paediatric asthma, but there is a paucity of valid and reliable instruments to measure it. The Family Impact of Childhood Bronchial Asthma (IFABI-R) is a recently developed questionnaire to facilitate the assessment of asthma-related parents'/caregivers' quality of life. This study researches the psychometric properties of IFABI-R. METHODS: Parents/main caregivers of 462 children between 4 and 14 years of age with active asthma were included in the sample. IFABI-R was administered on two different occasions and a number of other variables related to the parents'/caregivers' quality of life were measured: child's asthma control, family functioning, and parents'/caregivers' perception of asthma symptoms in the child. IFABI-R evaluative and discriminative properties were analysed, and the minimal important change in the IFABI-R score was identified. RESULTS: IFABI-R showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.941), cross-sectional construct validity (correlation with the degree of child's asthma control, family functioning and parent/caregiver perception of the child's asthma symptoms), longitudinal construct validity (correlation of changes in the IFABI-R with changes in asthma control and changes in the perception of symptoms), sensitivity to change and test-retest reliability. An absolute change of 0.3 units in IFABI-R related to a minimal significant change in the parents'/caregivers' quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: IFABI-R is a reliable and valid instrument to study the quality of life of parents/caregivers of children with asthma
