| Crynodeb: | Introduction: Self-efficacy is considered an important predictor of therapeutic
adherence and health promotion in achieving the control of chronic diseases, and its
evaluation is essential for the management of asthma. So far, in Brazil, there are no
specific instruments to assess the self-efficacy of adolescents with asthma.
Objective: To provide the cross-cultural adaptation of the Adolescent Asthma SelfEfficacy Questionnaire (AASEQ) for the Brazilian population. Methods: This is an
exploratory study, which involves the cross-cultural adaptation of the AASEQ. The
study followed international recommendations, including the COnsensus-based
Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN), and
involved translation steps, synthesis of translations, reverse translation, synthesis of
reverse translations, review by an external researcher, evaluation and approval of the
author of the original version, analysis by a multidisciplinary committee of experts
and pretest. Similar to the original study, internal consistency was tested; content
validity; convergent validity; discriminant validity, and construct validity, verified by the
Confirmatory Factor Analysis (AFC). Results: The instrument adapted for the
Portuguese in Brazil proved to have a content equivalent to the original, in which
adequate comprehensibility indexes were obtained for the Brazilian population. A
total of 148 adolescents with asthma aged 12 to 18 years were considered eligible to
participate of the study. The AASEQ showed adequate value for internal consistency.
The construct validity showed a regular adjustment to the data. The convergent and
discriminant validities were confirmed through correlations with the General SelfEfficacy Scale (GSES), Asthma Knowledge Scale, and the number of hospitalizations for asthma in the last year. Conclusion: The AASEQ proved to be an appropriate questionnaire to assess asthma self-efficacy in Brazilian adolescents |
