“…In 2007, an editorial ( 4 ) presented an account of the decade and highlighted the need for professional training and funding to advance the quality of care by improving AMPCs. Examples of asthma programs in Brazil were obtained in 2008, by analyzing the responses to the forms sent to BTA members and members of the Brazilian Association of Allergists and Immunologists.…”

Objective: To report the results of a workshop regarding asthma management programs and centers (AMPCs) in Brazil, so that they can be used as a tool for the improvement and advancement of current and future AMPCs. Methods: The workshop consisted of five presentations and the corresponding group discussions. The working groups discussed the following themes: implementation of asthma management strategies; human resources needed for AMPCs; financial resources needed for AMPCs; and operational maintenance of AMPCs. Results: The workshop involved 39 participants, from all regions of the country, representing associations of asthma patients (n = 3), universities (n = 7), and AMPCs (n = 29). We found a direct relationship between a lack of planning and the failure of AMPCs. Based on the experiences reported during the workshop, the common assumptions about AMPCs in Brazil were the importance of raising awareness of managers; greater community participation; interdependence between primary care and specialized care; awareness of regionalization; and use of medications available in the public health system. Conclusions: Brazil already has a core of experience in the area of asthma management programs. The implementation of strategies for the management of chronic respiratory disease and their incorporation into health care system protocols would seem to be a natural progression. However, there is minimal experience in this area. Joint efforts by individuals with expertise in AMPCs could promote the implementation of asthma management strategies, thus speeding the creation of treatment networks, which might have a multiplier effect, precluding the need for isolated centers to start from zero.

The aim of this study was to translate and adapt the Self-Efficacy and Their Child's Level Asthma Control scale to Brazil's cultural reality and evaluate the content validity of the Portuguese version. A methodological study that followed the stages: initial translation into Portuguese language by two independent translators; translation synthesis; translation of the scale's synthesis back into its original English language (back-translation); pre-test of the final version with 30 parents/guardians and content validation. The pre-test evaluation led to modifications for the target population's better understanding. Content validity obtained by means of analysis of the scale by the committee of experts was considered adequate (CVI>0.80). The scale's application time with each participant ranged between 5-13 minutes. An increase in the scale's application in Brazil is recommended, with the aim of improving its psychometric properties, as well as obtaining parameters for control and management interventions in childhood asthma.
