Which Method is More Effective in Aerochamber Training in Pediatric Age Group?
Öz
Objective:
Spacer and metered-dose inhaler use is widespread especially among pediatric
population. In children, training in medication use is provided both for the
family and the child. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether
this training is well comprehended and which training method is more effective
to achieve that goal.
Methods:
This study included patients presenting to our outpatient clinic who were in
need of spacer and metered-dose inhaler use. The study subjects had an age
range of 2-16 years. The patients were randomized into two groups. The first
group was trained on metered-dose inhaler use by video demonstration. The
second group was trained by applied verbal training. They asked to use spacer
and metered-dose inhaler, and they were rated from 0 to 6, as in previous
studies. Errors and deficiencies of use were re-explained. They were informed
about their scores and were told that they would be rated again in the next
follow-up appointment. They were asked again to use spacer and metered-dose
inhaler and rated between 0 and 6 at the second-month control visit.
Results:
The intra-group analysis of the video group showed a significant difference
between the first-month and second-month total scores (p<0,01). The
intra-group analysis of the verbal training group also showed a significant
difference between the first-month and second-month total scores (p<0,01).
Conclusion: In conclusion, we demonstrated the positive effect of actively inclusion of patients with asthma into the training about spacer and metered-dose inhaler use. We ensured active participation by exam motivation. Here in we aimed to contribute to the existing literature.
