“…In order to be effective, asthma counselling should focus on medication, more specifically, safe dosage and correct inhalation technique (Kauppi et al 2015;Lee et al 2016). However, there is a general lack of inhalation technique counselling (Kauppi et al 2015;Lingner et al 2017), and worryingly, Hickey (2014) reports that there is also a lack of staff who are able to demonstrate the correct inhalation technique. Patients are used to taking medication and immediately experiencing a degree of relief in their symptoms.…”

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.

“…Hickey [30] suggests that ineffective inhaler technique leads to increase in exacerbations and poor management of the disease. Hickey [30] found that there is evidence suggesting that health professionals lack the ability to teach inhaler technique properly however another reason could be as simple as the patient forgetting the correct technique, reasons miss management is multifaceted. Nurses must consider patient empowerment, which involves the moving the power from nurses towards the patient.…”

Background: Asthma affects 235 million people worldwide. In developed countries, 1 in 12 people suffer from asthma. In Ireland this statistic is higher with 1 in 10 individuals suffering from asthma. Nurses are at the forefront in the battle against the effects of asthma on patients. This review aims to examine the critical role of health promotion interventions by nurses in the management of asthma. Method: This literature review, in conjunction with a presentation slide deck, looks to: 1. Identify asthma triggers as an important source of knowledge for nurses when treating asthma. 2. Explore techniques that improve patient education and self-management of asthma. 3. Highlight the importance of Health promotion in relation to asthma. Results: From this review it was determined that health promotion in asthma must be an educational initiative where it's amalgamated into nursing practice and becomes on integral part of a nurse's toolkit. Conclusion: A simple education leaflet detailing what was presented in the enclosed slides was designed following this review to support patient education for the effective self-management of adults with asthma. Further study should be conduct on the long term benefits of this leaflet.

“…For example, lung defence mechanism involves resistance and removal of any inhaled foreign particle by various physico-chemical mechanisms, such as muco-ciliary clearances (Newman, 2017). In addition, the poor delivery of these therapeutic compounds is further increased by the poor adherence to medications and/or inappropriate inhaler device techniques followed by patients with CRDs (Hickey, 2014). Hence, more innovative and effective routes of drug delivery are urgently required to treat these CRDs.…”

A large population, including people of all age groups are suffering from chronic respiratory diseases worldwide. Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, occupational lung diseases, cystic fibrosis, etc. are the most common of these diseases, and are non-curable with conventional and currently available therapies. The nanotechnology is emerging as a great therapeutic promise in different spheres including the drug delivery systems and is becoming the technology of choice nowadays. The administration of drug via inhalation helps in avoiding the first-pass metabolism by targeted delivery to the affected site. It has been observed that there is a huge diversity in nanotechnology being used in pulmonary diseases and thus safety assessment is a challenging as well as important task. The present review focuses on some of the major emerging nanotechnologies for chronic pulmonary diseases and includes some latest studies in the field of nanomedicines.
