“…Previous reports on inhaler technique education for HCPs have shown that correct demonstration skills can be achieved in a single teaching session 3,23,32 ; however, these skills were not maintained over a period as short as 2-3 months. 23,32 In Jordan, asthma prevalence is not low, with 4.1% of the adult population diagnosed, and 8.3% reporting wheeze.…”

INTRODUCTION:The aims of this study were (1) to assess the ability of a range of health-care professionals (HCPs: specialists [physicians specializing in management of airways disease], general practitioners, pharmacists, pharmacist assistants, nurses, and respiratory therapists) in Jordan to demonstrate the correct use of some commonly used inhalers using standardized checklists, with highest scores indicating optimal use, and (2)

“…The value attributed to the communication between physician and pharmacist may imply that patients with a lower level of education may have a higher need for security, or that this need for inter professional communication could imply a need for a caring relationship, where bonds between carers would strengthen this feeling 26 . Research has found that the inter-professional communication is one of the most requested domains by patients 27 , and reinforces the importance of close cooperation between health-care professionals.…”

The tool needs further development to ensure its validity and utility in practice. This will provide greater insight into patients' perceptions of their healthcare needs, which can allow health professionals to target their interventions. Such a tool may then be used in pharmacies that intend to change their current practice, to raise pharmacists' awareness of patients' demands. Developing ways to meet those needs will ultimately lead to an increased quality service and therefore 'client' satisfaction.

“…For example, Resnick and colleagues showed that, of housestaff physicians educated to achieve correct pMDI technique, only 26% had correct technique when reassessed 2 months later. 17 In the present study, the training workshop was based on comprehensive consideration of adult learning principles, including didactic presentations, physical demonstrations, hands-on training with inhalers, peer assessment, and immediate feedback. 18,19 Nevertheless, even when similar principles were followed in the study by Jackevicius and Chapman, with a 1-hour hands-on workshop leading to an increase in the proportion of hospital pharmacists who could demonstrate correct technique with a Turbuhaler from 0% to 65%, the proportion with correct technique had fallen to 35% after 3 months.…”

Objective. To assess the effectiveness of a single educational intervention, followed by patient education training, in pharmacists retaining their inhaler technique skills. Methods. A convenience sample of 31 pharmacists attended an educational workshop and their inhaler techniques were assessed. Those randomly assigned to the active group were trained to assess and teach correct Turbuhaler and Diskus inhaler techniques to patients and provided with patient education tools to use in their pharmacies during a 6-month study. Control pharmacists delivered standard care. All pharmacists were reassessed 2 years after initial training. Results. Thirty-one pharmacists participated in the study. At the initial assessment, few pharmacists demonstrated correct technique (Turbuhaler:13%, Diskus:6%). All pharmacists in the active group demonstrated correct technique following training. Two years later, pharmacists in the active group demonstrated significantly better inhaler technique than pharmacists in the control group (p , 0.05) for Turbuhaler and Diskus (83% vs.11%; 75% vs.11%, respectively). Conclusion. Providing community pharmacists with effective patient education tools and encouraging their involvement in educating patients may contribute to pharmacists maintaining their competence in correct inhaler technique long-term.
