Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to evaluate exercise capacity and activity role adequacy in patients with adult bronchial asthma.
Detailed Description
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by increased airway sensitivity to various stimuli and reversible airway obstruction. Asthma is a disease with high morbidity and mortality despite all advances in pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment in the world. It is estimated that there are approximately 300 million asthmatic patients in the world. In our country, approximately one out of every 12-13 adults and one in 7-8 children have asthma. Clinical symptoms of asthma include shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing. Increased symptoms in asthmatic patients lead to impaired respiratory function. In chronic respiratory problems, participants restrict their activity to avoid shortness of breath. As a result, physical fitness levels are reduced, shortness of breath occurs at earlier workloads, and participants do less activity. In chronic disorders, managing the disease alone may not be enough to optimize normal functioning in daily life. In literature, it is seen that daily life activities, quality of life, school performance and work performance are affected in asthmatic patients. it is thought to be useful in determining the course of treatment to be given to the patient in the course of the disease.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Evaluation of Exercise Capacity
Time Frame: Day 1
Exercise capacity will be evaluated with a six-minute walk test (6MWT). The patients will be asked to walk as fast as they can in their own walking tempo for six minutes in a 28-meter straight corridor.6DYT distance value has normal values according to age and sex. These values will be taken as reference in the interpretation of the measurements.
Evaluation of Activity-Role Adequacy
Time Frame: Day 1
Activity-role adequacy in asthma patients will be assessed using the "Activity Self-Assessment" questionnaire. The Activity Self-Assessment questionnaire is a person-centered assessment tool designed to determine how illness and disability affect individuals' activities and roles. The Activity Self-Assessment Questionnaire is a person-centered assessment questionnaire consisting of 21 items and importance related to activity-role competence. The Activity Self-Assessment questionnaire asks the individual to score each item and value on two separate 4-point scales for activity adequacy. The points obtained are summed up to obtain two separate total points, namely competence and importance. These scores are converted to scores between 0-100 with the method in the application guide of the scale. As the total score increases, activity self-efficacy and importance increases.
