REDDEL Medicina Asthma Jordan Practice Attitudes Health Knowledge Objectives : To explore whether an association exists between health care professionals’ (HCPs) asthma knowledge and inhaler techni que demonstration skills. Methods : HCPs’ asthma knowledge and inhaler technique demonstration skills were assess ed at baseline at an inter- professional educational workshop focusing on asthma medication use. Asthma knowledge was assessed via a published questionnaire. Correc t inhaler technique for the three inhalers, the Accuhaler , Turbuhaler and pressurized Metered Dose Inhaler (pMDI) was assessed using published checklists. Results : Two hundred HCPs agreed to participate: 10 specialists (medical doctors specialized in respiratory diseases) (5%), 46 general practitioners (23%), 79 pharmacists (39%), 15 pharmaci sts’ assistants (8%), 40 nurses (20%) and 10 respiratory therapists (5%). Backwards stepwise multiple regression conducted to determine predictors of HCP s’ inhaler technique, showed that out of many independent variables (asthma knowledge score, profession, age, gender, place of work, years in practice and previ ous personal use of the study inhaler/s), asthma knowled ge score was the only variable showing significant associ ation with inhaler technique (R 2 =0.162, p<0.001). Conclusion : This study revealed signi ficant associations between asthma knowledge and inhaler technique scores for all HCPs. Providing inter-p rofessional workshops for all HCPs involved integrating education on asthma knowledge and practice of i nhaler technique skills are looked-for. 2016 artículo científico 1885-642X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=69044429009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69044429009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69044429009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69044429009/69044429009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69044429009/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=690 Pharmacy Practice application/pdf Centro de investigaciones y Publicaciones Farmacéuticas Pharmacy Practice (España) Num.1 Vol.14 |
