Assessment of the factors affecting the failure to use inhaler devices before and after training

Respiratory Medicine
Yusuf Aydemir

Abstract

Inhaler devices used for the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases are frequently incorrectly used by the patients. The effects of training on the correct use of these devices are unquestionable. However, despite the training provided on the correct technique of using the inhaler device, some patients still continue using the device incorrectly. The aims of the present study are to determine the rate of incorrect use of the inhaler devices, assess the parameters that affect the incorrect use, demonstrate the contribution of training, and determine the characteristics of the patients who use the devices incorrectly despite training. 342 consecutive patients were included in the study. The patients' ability to use the devices correctly was scored before and after face-to-face trainings. The parameters affecting incorrect use, the impact of training, and characteristics of the patients who continued the incorrect usage after training were evaluated. The rate of correct usage was 58.9% for dry powder inhalers (DPI) and 31.1% for pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDI) before the training. The parameters affecting correct usage were educational status, gender, living in rural areas, duration of disease, and being diagnosed and ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
