Abstract：Objective: To test the validity and reliability of C-PedsQLTM FIM in asthmatic children抯 parents, and then provide an effective tool to measure the astnma抯 influence in parents quality of life and family functioning.Methods: Investigation of the scale was conducted in 165 caregivers of asthmatic children, C-CACT was used to test patients asthma control condition, and the data were used to evaluate the scale抯 reliability and validity. Results: Seven factors was extracted from C-PedsQLTM FIM by the method of varimax orthogonal rotation of principal component analysis. The contribution rate of each factor was 13.237% to 6.231% and the cumulative contribution rate was 70.603%. The correlation coefficient between C-PedsQLTM FIM and C-CACT was 0.425 (P<0.01), which for each factor was 0.208～0.477 (P<0.01). The coefficient of Cronbach抯αin C-PedsQLTM FIM was 0.960, which for each factor was ranged from 0.830 to 0.932. Conclusion: The reliability and validity of C-PedsQLTM FIM are good enough for meeting psychometric standard. It抯 suitable to assess the asthma抯 influence in caregivers and their family in China.
