| Abstract |
Asthma is a controllable disease. Poor asthma symptom control increased the risk of exacerbation. Accurate knowledge about asthma control can reduce risk behaviors, enhanced good symptom control, and minimal exacerbation. This study aimed to assess accurate knowledge about asthma control and factor-related among asthma patients in a rural community. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 786 asthma patients using a simple random sampling method. Questionnaires were used, comprising 2 parts: socio-demographic, and knowledge about asthma control. Data were collected by well-trained university student interviewers using the local language and then analyzed using frequency, percentage, independent sample t-test, ANOVA, multiple linear regression, and 95%CI. The response rate was 92.36% (726/786). This study found that 49.4.0% (359/367) (95% CI:45.75, 53.15) of asthma patients had accurate knowledge about asthma control. The most accurate knowledge was exacerbation symptom “frequent asthma attacks showing the severity of the disease” (69.1%). The most inaccurate issue was the risk factor about the allergy and allergic to things such as fabrics, drugs, food, chemicals, insects are at risk of asthma and asthma exacerbation (59.0%). The factors related to accurate knowledge about asthma control levels among the asthma patients were age, marital status, and education. Half of the asthma patients had inaccurate knowledge about asthma control, in terms of risk factor about allergic things and risk of asthma exacerbation from chronic sinusitis. For improvement, more knowledge should be given on the issues that were mostly misunderstood, which was the risk factor especially some triggers of asthma exacerbation |
