Asthma Health Literacy Scale for Children (AHLCS) (Ages 8-12): A Scale Development Study

Objective: This study will be conducted using a methodological design to develop and examine the psychometric properties of the Asthma Health Literacy Scale for Children (AHLCS) for children aged 8-12 years.

Full description

This research was conducted to develop the Asthma Health Literacy Scale for children and to test its psychometric properties. The research is a methodological scale development study.

A review of the national and international literature revealed no studies measuring the health literacy level of children with asthma, indicating a significant gap in this area. It is therefore thought that the developed scale will fill an important gap. With this understanding, children's information level requirements regarding asthma can be identified; specific initiatives can be planned to meet the identified requirements of children; and, accordingly, children's asthma health literacy information level regarding asthma can be measured.
