Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate knowledge on asthma self-management and inhaler technique among adult asthma patients. Methods: Across-sectional study was conductedfrom08/2020 to 03/2021, using structurallyvalidated questionnaires filled in person interview or via email/message and medical records. TheAsthma Self-Management Questionnaire (ASMQ), standardized checklists of correct use of inhalers and the Asthma Control Test (ACT) were employed. Results: The mean age of 53 recruited patients was 44.6 (SD, 13.3), and 64.2% were women. The median of transformed ASMQ score57.1 (out of100)in a transformed score. Only11.3% of these patients had good knowledge, 58.5% had adequate knowledge, and 30.2% had poor knowledge. Of all patients, 92,0% had poor inhaler technique. Conclusion: Nearly one-third of patients in the study had inadequate knowledge on asthma self-managementand almost all of them had poor inhaler technique. There is an urgent need for interventions to asthma care.
