Asthma Control Test and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate: Independent Pediatric Asthma Management Tools

Latar belakang. Childhood Asthma Control Test (CACT) merupakan kuesioner penilaian terkendalinya asma pada anak yang cepat dan mudah digunakan. Di Indonesia, penggunaan CACT masih terbatas karena kendala bahasa dan budaya. Sampai saat ini, belum ada kuesioner CACT versi Indonesia (terjemahan CACT ke dalam bahasa Indonesia) yang terbukti sahih dan andal.Tujuan. Mengetahui kesahihan (validity) dan keandalan (reliability) kuesioner CACT versi Indonesia.Metode. Menerjemahkan tujuh pertanyaaan kuesioner CACT menjadi kuesioner CACT versi Indonesia. Studi potong lintang dilakukan terhadap 66 subjek usia 4-11 tahun yang dipilih secara konsekutif. Semua subjek menjalani uji fungsi paru dan pemeriksaan peak expiratory flow berkala. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji Cronbach’s α dan uji korelasi Pearson/ Spearman.Hasil. Rerata usia subjek penelitian 7,89 tahun (5,25 -11,83) tahun dengan proporsi jenis kelamin laki-laki lebih tinggi dibandingkan perempuan. Sebagian besar subjek penelitian yaitu 60,4% memiliki status asma tidak terkendali (nilai kuesioner CACT ≤19). Kuesioner CACT versi Indonesia mempunyai keandalan (Cronbach’s α 0,762) dan kesahihan konstruksi (r= 0,384-0,545) yang baik. Tidak terdapat korelasi bermakna antara kuesioner CACT versi Indonesia dengan nilai FEV1 (r=-0,024; p=0,846) dan nilai variabilitas mingguan PEF (r=-0,218; p=0,079).Kesimpulan. Kuesioner CACT versi Indonesia mempunyai kesahihan dan keandalan yang baik untuk menilai terkendalinya asma. Kuesioner ini tidak mempunyai korelasi dengan uji fungsi paru sehingga CACT tidak dapat menggantikan peran uji fungsi paru sebagai salah satu komponen penilaian terkendalinya asma.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by episodic wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness due to airway obstruction. The aim of this study was to identify the peak expiratory flow (APE) and control of asthma in asthmatic patients at the Poly Paru Airlangga University Hospital and Home Haji General Hospital) Surabaya. This research method was descriptive study with a sample of 78 respondents. APE was measured using a Peak Flow Meter and asthma control using the Asthma Control Test (ACT) questionnaire. This study showed that APE and asthma control in all study subjects were 27-88% of the standard value. It can be concluded that there was a decrease in Peak Forced Expiration Flow and control of asthma in asthmatic patients. This study is expected to be a source of information for health professionals especially nurses regarding the value of Forced Expiration Peak Flow (APE) and asthma control in asthmatic patients. Keywords: forced peak expiratory flow (APE); asthma control ABSTRAK Asma adalah penyakit jalan napas inflamasi kronis yang ditandai dengan mengi episodik, batuk, dan sesak dada akibat obstruksi jalan napas.tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi Arus Puncak Ekspirasi (APE) dan kontrol asma pada pasien asma di poli Paru Rumah Sakit Universitas Airlangga dan Rumah Sakit Umum Haji) Surabaya. Metode penelitian ini studi deskriptif dengan ukran sampel 78 responden. APE diukur menggunakan Peak Flow Meter dan kontrol asma menggunakan kuisioner Asthma Control Test (ACT). Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa APE dan kontrol asma pada seluruh subyek penelitian 27-88 % dari nilai standar.dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat penurunan Arus Puncak Ekspirasi Paksa dan kontrol asma pada pasien asma. Penelitian ini diharapkan menjadi sumber informasi bagi tenaga kesehatan khsusnya perawat mengenai nilai Arus Puncak Ekspirasi Paksa (APE) dan kontrol asma pada pasien asma.

Obesity has become one of the major health issues in India. WHO defines obesity as “A condition with excessive fat accumulation in the body to the extent that the health and wellbeing are adversely affected”. Obesity results from a complex interaction of genetic, behavioral, environmental and socioeconomic factors causing an imbalance in energy production and expenditure. Peak expiratory flow rate is the maximum rate of airflow that can be generated during forced expiratory manoeuvre starting from total lung capacity. The simplicity of the method is its main advantage. It is measured by using a standard Wright Peak Flow Meter or mini Wright Meter. The aim of the study is to see the effect of body mass index on Peak Expiratory Flow Rate values in young adults. The place of a study was done tertiary health care centre, in India for the period of 6 months. Study was performed on 80 subjects age group 20 -30 years, categorised as normal weight BMI =18.5 -24.99 kg/m2 and overweight BMI =25-29.99 kg/m2. There were 40 normal weight BMI (Group A) and 40 over weight BMI (Group B). BMI affects PEFR. Increase in BMI decreases PEFR. Early identification of risk individuals prior to the onset of disease is imperative in our developing country. Keywords: BMI, PEFR.
