“…This is additional evidence of why good counselling is important for asthma patients. Even though a patient may have used inhaled medication for years, healthcare staff should nevertheless periodically check that the patient knows the correct inhalation technique (Jha et al 2016).…”

Background Healthcare staff have a key role in counselling patients. This study describes asthma patients' evaluations of primary care counselling quality. Methods The research applied a cross-sectional study design, with data collected from adult asthma patients (n = 73). Data were analysed by descriptive statistics. Results Most of participating patients were women (73%) and over 60 years old (67%). The patients were generally satisfied with the counselling. Subjection to an asthma test (p = 0.009) and smoking (p = 0.019) were found to significantly positively affect patient perceptions of counselling quality. The patients also felt that support services should be covered more (74%). Patients with comprehensive education (p = 0.039) and smokers (p = 0.015) were more likely to be satisfied with the counselling than other patients. Counselling was client-oriented (53%) and most patients reported experiencing positive interactions (92%). Most patients agreed that counselling benefitted adherence to self-care (75%) and health promotion (67%). Moreover, almost all of the patients were satisfied with the staff members' knowledge and skills (97%). Subjection to an asthma test (p = 0.043), age (p = 0.030), smoking (p = 0.014), and duration of illness (p = 0.002) influenced satisfaction with counselling resources. Conclusion The results indicate that counselling benefits asthma patients. Performing an asthma test, as well as considering smoking habits and educational level, can improve patient perceptions of counselling.

Asthma affects people worldwide. In developed countries 1 in 12 individuals suffer from asthma, while in Ireland this ratio is closer to 1 in 10. Managing asthma symptoms and triggers reduces the potential exacerbation of asthmatic attacks. This article identifies the importance of asthma management, triggers, inhaler techniques and self-management for optimal health. Education by nurses and health professionals can make a significant contribution to asthma care and self-management. The purpose of patient education for self-management of asthma is twofold: to raise awareness of effective inhaler technique and to support self-management of asthma triggers for health and symptom control.
