Following the example of other countries, it is very important to educate patients on the correct use of inhalers by properly trained healthcare professionals, including pharmacists.
The aim of the study was to assess the quality and comprehensiveness of professional advice given by pharmacists on the use of inhalers, which was determined by the pharmacists' level of training.
The study was conducted from June 2019 to March 2020. 150 pharmacists from Poznan and Warsaw (Poland) were involved. Before the study began, the professional education of 240 pharmacists was conducted in Warsaw to implement standard operating procedures. The study used the model of a mystery shopper.
The conversation with a trained pharmacist lasted on average 5.5 min, with an untrained one-3.0 min ( < 0.0001). Placebo inhalers were used more often by trained pharmacists during patients' education ( < 0.0001). Moreover, 10.3% of untrained pharmacists did not provide any education. Additionally, untrained employees' quality of advice was assessed on an average of 3.5 points, while trained ones-7.6 points ( < 0.0001).
This study has shown that there is a need for professional training among pharmacists in Poland, which translates into better patient education in the field of inhalation techniques.
以其他国家为榜样，由包括药剂师在内的经过适当培训的医疗保健专业人员对患者进行吸入器正确使用方法的教育非常重要。
本研究的目的是评估药剂师在吸入器使用方面提供的专业建议的质量和全面性，这取决于药剂师的培训水平。
该研究于2019年6月至2020年3月进行。共有来自波兰波兹南和华沙的150名药剂师参与。在研究开始前，在华沙对240名药剂师进行了专业培训以实施标准操作程序。该研究采用了神秘顾客模式。
与经过培训的药剂师的谈话平均持续5.5分钟，与未经培训的药剂师谈话平均持续3.0分钟（P<0.0001）。在对患者进行教育时，经过培训的药剂师更常使用安慰剂吸入器（P<0.0001）。此外，10.3%未经培训的药剂师未提供任何教育。另外未经培训的员工提供的建议质量平均得分为3.5分，而经过培训的员工为7.6分（P<0.0001）。
本研究表明波兰的药剂师需要专业培训，这有助于在吸入技术领域更好地对患者进行教育。
