Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Tennessee, 2003.

Asthma, the leading chronic disease of childhood, affects over five and one-half million children. With proper management, a child with asthma can have normal or near-normal lung function. With over 300,000 children enrolled in childcare centers in Tennessee, childcare workers must learn proper asthma management to minimize the impacts of asthma on children. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the asthma knowledge, beliefs, experience, and self-efficacy of childcare center workers in selected urban and rural counties in Tennessee. The Health Belief Model was used as the theoretical foundation for the research. The Tennessee Childcare Asthma Survey was created to measure childcare workers' self-reported knowledge, beliefs, and self-efficacy of managing asthma. Childcare centers, licensed by the Tennessee Department of Human Services, were identified in selected urban and rural counties. Major conclusions were: (1){A0}center location was associated with childcare workers' self-reported knowledge of asthma signs and symptoms, asthma triggers, and beliefs about perceived susceptibility to, perceived severity of, and perceived barriers to asthma; (2){A0}childcare center profit status was associated with childcare workers' self-reported asthma knowledge of asthma triggers; (3){A0}age, race, level of education, and employment status of childcare workers were associated with childcare workers' knowledge of, beliefs about, and self-efficacy on managing asthma; and (4){A0}childcare workers' self-reported experience was associated with childcare workers' self-reported knowledge of asthma, beliefs about asthma, and self-efficacy on caring for a child with asthma. Developing, implementing, and evaluating an "asthma management in childcare centers" education program, based on the Health Belief Model, was recommended. Components of the program should include: asthma signs and symptoms, asthma triggers, asthma treatment, asthma medications, facts and myths about asthma, planning for emergencies, and communicating with parents. Childcare worker training should be offered in one-half day sessions on a Saturday or a three-hour session on a week night, using childcare workers experienced with asthma as peer educators, and establishing a mentoring program for childcare workers inexperienced with asthma.
