Objective: To evaluate drug therapy problems in asthma patients visiting a secondary and tertiary hospital in South-Eastern Nigeria.Methods: This study was a retrospective, cross-sectional analyses of the medical records of adult asthmatic patients receiving care in two hospitals in Enugu State, within a 15-year period. The Pharmaceutical Network Care Europe (PCNE) tool version 6.2 was used to assess drug therapy problems. The IBM Statistical Product for Services Solution (SPSS) version 20.0 was used for analysis. For all results, P ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Majority of the patients were below 60 y old (81.2%); female (68.8%) and were on more than two drugs (95.3%). Majority of the identified drug therapy problems (DTPs) were adverse reactions (65.7%). The inappropriate drug combination was the major cause of DTPs (65.6%). Only about 23.4% of the intervention outcomes were known. University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) had more interventions (35.9%) than Medical Centre (8.0%) (χ2 = 6.323; df = 1; **P = 0.012); and more of the outcomes of their interventions known (38.5%) compared to Medical Centre (0.0%) (χ2 = 12.559; df = 1; **P ˂ 0.001).Conclusion: Adverse reactions and inappropriate drug selection were the major identified DTPs and major cause of DTPs, respectively. Most DTPs had no interventions. The documented interventions included stopping of the drugs, change of drugs or dosage, change of instructions for use and starting of new drugs. Most interventions had unknown outcomes. UNTH had more interventions with known outcomes than the University of Nigeria Medical Centre.

“…Pharmacy students may have apathy towards practice in asthma settings if they do not have sufficient knowledge of asthma. Pharmacists have demonstrated poor knowledge of inhaler techniques and have not taken active roles in promoting self-management among asthma patients [5]. However, there is paucity of data on the knowledge, attitudes and perceived practice of pharmacy students towards asthma worldwide, Nigeria inclusive.…”

Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitudes and perceived practice of asthma among final year pharmacy students in Southern Nigeria.Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted in six pharmacy schools in Southern Nigeria. A 49-item structured, self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from the final year pharmacy students. Data were analyzed using the IBM Statistical Product for Services Solution (SPSS) for Windows, Version 21.0. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.Results: Overall, less than half of the students had good knowledge of asthma (47.7%); good attitudes towards asthma (49.5%); and good perception of the roles of pharmacists in counselling asthma patients (48.1%). SIWES/IT (Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme/Industrial Training) improved students’ asthma knowledge (t = 3.119; df = 453; P = 0.002). The University of Lagos (UNILAG) pharmacy students had significantly better asthma knowledge than their University of Uyo (UNIUYO), University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) and University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) counterparts (P<0.05).Conclusion: Less than half of the pharmacy students had good knowledge of asthma; good attitudes towards asthma and good perception of the roles of pharmacists in counselling asthma patients. UNILAG pharmacy students had significantly better asthma knowledge than most of the other schools. Students who had SIWES/IT experience (Students’ Industrial Working Experience Scheme/Industrial Training) had better asthma knowledge. The SIWES/IT programme should continue.

Bronchiální astma, řadící se mezi chronická plicní onemocnění, zásadním způsobem ovlivňuje každodenní život pacienta. Adherence k léčbě a správná inhalační technika jsou nezbytnou součástí pro dosažení cílů terapie. Cílem článku je podání přehledu publikovaných prací hodnotících vliv farmaceutem vedené intervence na adherenci k léčbě nebo inhalační techniku u dospělých pacientů s bronchiálním astmatem. Rešerší literatury v databázích PubMed a Scopus bylo identifikováno celkem 23 studií. Z jejich analýzy vyplynulo, že intervence farmaceuta v jakékoliv podobě měla pozitivní vliv na oba výše uvedené sledované jevy i na výsledky terapie bronchiálního astmatu a může významnou měrou přispívat ke zlepšení kvality života pacientů.
