Abstract

Educational programs are ideal approaches to improve treatment adherence and asthma control, for example, patient education materials, which should ideally be evidence-based and built to improve health education. The purpose of this work was validated by experts and analyze the level of readability of a psychoeducational manual to promote adherence behaviors and disease control in adults with asthma. The manual was evaluated by 9 expert judges in asthma and health psychology, content validity was analyzed with the Osterlind index and reading difficulty with the INFLESZ index. The manual obtained an excellent evaluation of its content with an Osterlind index of 0.98 and in the reading difficulty analysis it obtained a score of 67.74, evidence of a material that is very easy to read. The findings show the importance of building educational materials evidence-based and statistical indicators. Asthma patients are guaranteed to have access to quality, easy-to-understand material.
