Brief Summary

In the treatment of respiratory diseases such as COPD and asthma, bronchodilators and steroids, which are essential drugs, are preferred to be administered by inhalation compared to oral and parenteral routes. In the studies conducted with the use of inhaler drugs, it is seen that many wrong practices have been made regarding the techniques of using the inhaler drugs and that the correct usage techniques are not followed. Inability to use the inhaler device fully and correctly; It causes consequences such as failure to control the disease, increase in drug use and side effects, increase in exacerbations, high hospitalization and waste of drugs, both undermining the trust in treatment and putting an extra burden on the health expenditures of the countries. This research aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the training given with the demonstration method and video watching method for the use of the Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) in asthmatic patients, and to ensure that the patients learn the correct inhaler use techniques.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• MDI Use Skills Chart

  For the steps of MDI use, it will be evaluated with the use of MDI skill chart based on the Thoracic Society National Asthma Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines. The total skill scores will be determined by giving 1 point for the correct application and 0 points for the incorrect application.

  Baseline (Before training)

• MDI Use Skills Chart

  For the steps of MDI use, it will be evaluated with the use of MDI skill chart based on the Thoracic Society National Asthma Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines. The total skill scores will be determined by giving 1 point for the correct application and 0 points for the incorrect application.

  Immediately after training

• MDI Use Skills Chart

  For the steps of MDI use, it will be evaluated with the use of MDI skill chart based on the Thoracic Society National Asthma Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines. The total skill scores will be determined by giving 1 point for the correct application and 0 points for the incorrect application.

  7th day after training

Study Arms (3)

Control group patients

NO INTERVENTION

Data will be collected from the patients in the control group without any application and their ability to use MDI will be evaluated.

Demonstration group patients

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the demonstration group will be given inhaler training (practically) by the researcher. The training will include steps compatible with the video. After the training, the patients will be asked to use inhaler drugs again, and their skill scores will be re-evaluated and the mistakes made by the patients will be shown by the researcher in the demonstration group. On the 7th day of the study, the patients will be called by the researcher with a video call, and the patients will be asked to use their MDI drugs again, and the MDI use skill chart will be filled again.

Behavioral: Demonstration method for the use of the Metered Dose Inhaler

Video group patients

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients in the video group will be shown the video of using MDI prepared by the researchers. The training will be completed by watching the MDI usage video prepared by the researchers in the patients in the video group. After the training, the patients will be asked to use the inhaler again and their skill scores will be re-evaluated. Their mistakes will be shown by making them watch it again from the video. On the 7th day of the study, the patients will be called by the researcher with a video call, and the patients will be asked to use their MDI drugs again, and the MDI use skill chart will be filled again.

Behavioral: Video watching method for the use of the Metered Dose Inhaler
