Abstract

Objective: Evaluating the usage status of MDI - metered dose asthma inhalers among asthmatic patients at the internal medicine department 1 of Saint Paul General Hospital in November – December 2020. Method: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Research results: The majority of asthmatic patients were over 70 years old (40%), male (58%), had a family history of asthma (70%), had no allergic history (62%), and did not suffer from asthma since childhood (76%). Most patients used the inhaler in the correct posture (96%), breathed correctly before inhaling the medication (56%), took a deep, long breath simultaneously while starting to inhale the medication (64%), held the inhaler in the correct way (82%), and rinsed their mouth after inhaling the medication (74%). All patients correctly opened and closed the inhaler during use, held the inhaler correctly, and shook the inhaler evenly before use. Only 5 patients correctly held their breath for 10 seconds while inhaling the medication (10%). The majority of asthmatic patients using corticosteroid inhalers (MDI) did not achieve proper usage (90%). Conclusion: The majority of asthmatic patients using corticosteroid inhalers (MDI) did not achieve proper usage (90%).
