Family Asthma Management System Scale--asthma knowledge and collaborative relationship subscales |
The scale was adapted to assesses the caregiver's illness management practices with a wheezing infant. The authors used the asthma knowledge and collaborative relationship with medical care provider subscales. Items were coded on a 9-point scale. | Parent/caregiver report | Interrater reliability ranged from 0.82-0.96 for the asthma knowledge subscale and from 0.79-0.96 for the collaborative relationship subscale |
