Indian journal of pharmaceutical sciencesSummary: An open label prospective interventional study was conducted on asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease patients to assess the influence of pharmacist provided education on inhaler usage technique and its
impact on therapeutic outcomes in patients with Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The
study was approved by the institutional ethics committee and conducted in the pulmonology department
of Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences, Narketpalli, Telangana. Written informed consent was obtained
from the recruited study patients. A suitably designed data collection form was designed to capture disease
and lab details i.e. forced expiratory volume in the 1st second. A newly constructed and validated knowledge,
attitude and practices questionnaire was administered to assess the knowledge about the disease and its
management. An inhaler checklist was applied to every patient to assess the inhaler usage technique and
provided suitable guidance to use the inhaler effectively and assessed the impact of education on the patient's
therapeutic outcomes. Among the 20 patients, 11 (55 %) were females and 9 (45 %) were males. The mean age
of the study patients was 54±3 y. A significant improvement in knowledge, attitude and practices scores was
observed in the post-counselling stage (p<0.001) and inhaler usage technique (p<0.001) among the patient
after providing the counselling. Correct education about disease and inhaler usage techniques had shown an
improvement in patient ̓ s therapeutic outcomes.
