dc.description.abstract | Aim: Inhaler device misuse is a common problem in the management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the incorrect use of inhaler devices and associated factors in patients with COPD. Material and Methods: A total of 75 patients with the diagnosis of COPD were randomized. Demographic characteristics, type of device used, satisfaction with the drug, whether they received any training, and the inhalation technique were evaluated. Disease duration, pulmonologist follow-up, and device type were compared with the frequency and type of errors. Results: Among the patients, 85.3% received information from the pulmonologist, 9.3% from another healthcare professional, and 5.3% did not receive any information about drug use; 20% of the patients were on Diskus, 4% on Turbohaler, 33.3% on capsuled devices, 37.3% pMDI, and 5.3% were on Ellipta. In total, 49.3% of patients were using their devices correctly. In patients who had 3 or more pulmonology follow-ups per year, correct installation of the device, mouth washing, and total correct use scores were significantly higher (p<0.05). Capsuled device users had significantly higher rates of performing adequate inhalation and the total score of correct use compared to pMDI users (p<0.05). Discussion: In COPD patients, frequent follow-up and the type of device used were found to be related to correct inhaler use. Applied inhaler device training should be given by a pulmonologist both initially and during follow-up, with particular attention to the technique of using the pMDI. | en_US |
