520 $a The rationale for Asthma Specific Locus of Control (ASLOC) scale development is based on clinical utility. This ASLOC instrument assesses LOC within asthma domains defined by asthma patients. Factor scores are predictive of patient health status.
520 $a The purpose of the project was to develop a clinical instrument that would predict asthma frequency and severity. First, the Locus of Control (LOC; Rotter, 1966) construct is defined; LOC utility for predicting health behavior is explained; and the evolution of LOC multidimensional and health specific LOC instruments is presented.
520 $a Asthma patients (N = 170) ranging from 18 to 58 years were recruited from John Winder and Associates, Allergy and Asthma Research Center-Toledo, Ohio. Asthma patients endorsed and critiqued ASLOC Pilot items compiled from an integrative analysis of the health LOC literature. Asthma experts sorted remaining items within the I-E LOC dimension. Principle Components Analysis and Alpha Factor Extraction derived an internally consistent 4 factor structure. Cronbach's coefficient alpha values were reported for the instrument's internal (0.69), perceived control (0.60), environmental precipitant (0.49), and medical (0.67) factors, as well as the ASLOC scale (&prop; = 0.70).
520 $a The ASLOC instrument assesses internal belief, attribution of control over processes related to asthma, attribution of control related to medical factors, and contribution of environmental precipitants. Factor scores may illustrate ASLOC scale clinical utility based on patient and physician reported asthma symptom frequency, asthma severity, as well as relationship ratings. Regression analysis revealed internal factor scores were inversely related to patient reported asthma frequency (r = -0.28, p < 0.038), and severity (-0.18, p < 0.032). The perceived control score may be predictive of physician reported asthma symptom frequency (0.170, p < 0.046). The medical factor was predictive of the patient-physician relationship (0.34, p < 0.024).
520 $a The ASLOC instrument's four factor model provides evidence for Rotter's (1975) proposal that specific instruments be developed to assess specific situations. Unique internal and external ASLOC domains have been identified. ASLOC domains may be useful for clinical outcome research or as a point of service instrument for the general practitioner. A validation study separate from this dissertation is in progress.
