Abstract

Background: ASTHMA is one of the most common acute and chronic conditions in child and the PEDIATRICIANS are expected to provide the important part of ASTHMA care in this age group, but there is no published information describing the different aspects of their PRACTICEs about CHILDREN ASTHMA. This study was done to characterize the KNOWLEDGE and PRACTICE of the Iranian PEDIATRICIANS about the diagnosis, treatment and education of ASTHMA in CHILDREN.Methods and Materials: Validated questionnaires were completed by 200 PEDIATRICIANS from different parts of Iran during the International Congress of Pediatrics in Tehran I October 2002.Results: A total of 193 returned questionnaires (96.5%) were eligible for the survey and analysis. About 49% of the respondents were male and 18% were sub specialists. Wheezing was the most common mentioned symptoms for thinking about ASTHMA. About 40% of these physicians had no plan for doing spirometry in eligible CHILDREN and 35.2% of them didn't have familiarity to peak flow meter. Also about 17.6% of them had no regular visits for their ASTHMAtic patients. Only 7.3% of the respondents indicated they would prescribe inhaled corticosteroids for a 6-y-old child with moderate persistent ASTHMA and 37.3% of them would prescribe inhaled bronchodilator (Salbutamol) for acute ASTHMAtic attack as the first drug, while 17.1 % of them use epinephrine injection for this purpose. About 42.2% of the respondents didn't consider any education or action plan for their patients, and only 60.6% of them had access to standard guidelines and educational programs. Conclusion: The results show that there are numerous aspects of CHILDREN ASTHMA management in Iran which are not consistent with standardized guidelines and recommendations. This survey and resulted information suggest areas for interventions to improve the pediatrician KNOWLEDGE about ASTHMA and the disease management.
