Previous issue date: 2012-03-21 / Introduction: In children with asthma diagnosis, assessment of quality of life related to health has become an important component in measuring the impact of disease on physical, social and mental patients. Objectives: To evaluate the quality of life related to health in children diagnosed with asthma in the city of Porto Alegre. Methods: The study included children diagnosed with asthma, aged eight to 12 years of age. The psychometric properties assessed were reliability through Cronbach s Alpha (α-C) and ceiling & floor effects. The assessment of quality of life was measured by the generic Kindl-R. These measurements and pulmonary function were assessed according to international guidelines. Evaluations of possible associations between the total score of asthmatic children and the clinical and demographic variables were evaluated by linear regression models. Results: The study included 80 children diagnosed with asthma, 51 children (64%) were categorized as white, with education levels between the 1st and 5th grade and the average values of pulmonary function within normal parameters. The value of α-C total score was 0.672. No score values obtained for the floor effect; a few schoolers reached the ceiling effect in some domains, but in ≤6% of cases. Asthmatic children had a lower score in almost all areas of the questionnaire of quality of life compared with healthy children (72.91 vs 75.10 p = 0.041). Adding to this finding, the scores of children diagnosed with asthma and obesity were lower compared to normal children (-0.82 vs -6.00 p = 0.003). Conclusion: The questionnaire of quality of life related to health Kindl-R has proper behavior in the asthmatic population evaluated. Children diagnosed with asthma studied showed a lower score in scores related quality of life compared to healthy children. In addition, children diagnosed with asthma and obese have a lower questionnaire score when compared with normal children. The use of this instrument can provide clinically relevant information for evaluation and monitoring of asthmatic children / Introdu??o: Em crian?as com diagn?stico de asma, a avalia??o da qualidade de vida relacionada ? sa?de tornou-se um componente importante para a mensura??o do impacto da doen?a nos aspectos f?sico, social e mental dos pacientes.Objetivos: Avaliar a qualidade de vida relacionada ? sa?de em crian?as escolares com diagn?stico de asma do munic?pio de Porto Alegre.M?todos: Participaram do estudo crian?as escolares com diagn?stico de asma, na faixa et?ria de oito a 12 anos de idade. A avalia??o da Qualidade de Vida foi mensurada por meio da do question?rio gen?rico Kindl-R. As medidas de antropometria e de fun??o pulmonar foram aferidas conforme diretrizes internacionais. As propriedades psicom?tricas do Kindl-R estudadas foram: consist?ncia interna mediante o Alfa de Cronback (α-C) e os efeitos teto e ch?o. As avalia??es entre as poss?veis associa??es do escore total das crian?as asm?ticas e das vari?veis cl?nico-demogr?ficas foram avaliadas mediante modelos de regress?o linear.Resultados: Participaram do estudo 80 crian?as com diagn?stico de asma, das quais 51 (64%) foram categorizadas como da ra?a branca, com n?vel de escolaridade entre a 1? e 5? s?rie e com as m?dias dos valores de fun??o pulmonar dentro dos par?metros de normalidade. O valor do α-C para escore total foi de 0,67. Nenhum escore obteve valores para efeito ch?o, mas alguns dom?nios atingiram o efeito teto em ≤6% das crian?as. As crian?as asm?ticas apresentaram uma pontua??o inferior em quase todos os dom?nios do question?rio de qualidade de vida quando comparadas com as crian?as h?gidas (72,91 vs 75,10 p=0,041). Somando-se a esse achado, os escores das crian?as com diagn?stico de asma e obesas, foram inferiores em compara??o as crian?as eutr?ficas (-0,82 vs -6,00 p=0,003). Conclus?o: O question?rio de qualidade de vida relacionada ? sa?de Kindl-R possui comportamento adequado na popula??o de asm?ticos avaliada. As crian?as estudadas apresentam uma menor pontua??o nos escores de qualidade de vida relacionada ? sa?de em rela??o ?s crian?as saud?veis. Al?m disso, crian?as com diagn?stico de asma e obesas apresentaram um menor escore do question?rio quando comparadas com as crian?as eutr?ficas. O uso deste instrumento pode trazer informa??es clinicamente relevantes para a avalia??o e acompanhamento de crian?as asm?ticas
