Inhaler Technique Training
Evaluating the Efficacy of 2 Different Educational Strategies for Improving and Maintaining Inhaler Technique
The evidence for poor inhaler technique is both well established and observed worldwide. What is unclear from the evidence is why individuals demonstrate poor technique, despite the majority admitting to having previously had instruction on inhaler technique. The primary research question is 'Will there be a difference between post education inhaler technique scores when comparing structured education against informal education?'
To try and establish why individuals use inhalers incorrectly a semi structured interview is proposed

Våben og indgreb
Deltagergruppe / Arm |
Intervention / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Ingen indgriben: Standard care
This arm will receive standard care which involves informal education on how to use metered dose inhalers
|
|
|
Aktiv komparator: Structured education
This arm will receive structured education on the use of inhalers.
At 6 weeks post education inhaler technique will be re-assessed.
Participants who fail to achieve a set level of competence may be chosen for semi structured interview.

Assessment of inhaler technique on day one.
Education package and training on inhaler use at week 2. Final assessment to establish maintenance of inhaler competence at week 8

Inhaler technique scores will be compared at 6 weeks post inhaler technique education. The proportion achieving proficiency will be compared between those recieving usual care and those recieving structured care.
