INTRODUCTION
Recognizing and correcting inhaler technique faults are critical for pharmacists. This study assesses the inhaler usage practices, attitudes, and knowledge among pharmacists.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 pharmacists in 2 provinces (Karbala and Najaf) from October 1, 2022, to the end of December 2022.
RESULTS
Two hundred Iraqi pharmacists, aged 28.1 ± 4.6 years, and randomly selected from Najaf and Karbala, participated in the study. The use of inhalers was well-known to about one-third of the participants. Most participants felt that using inhalers properly impacts how well a patient responds to treatment and that pharmacists must take courses to improve their credentials as educators. About a third of the volunteers checked how inhalers were used and explained the inhale-hold technique.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, pharmacists in Iraq demonstrated a fair level of knowledge and practice regarding inhaler usage techniques, with a good attitude toward teaching patients how to use their inhalers. The training programs on how to use inhalers would be beneficial in improving their healthcare services.
引言
识别并纠正吸入器使用技术错误对药剂师至关重要。本研究评估了药剂师的吸入器使用习惯、态度和知识水平。
方法
本横断面研究于2022年10月1日至2022年12月底在两个省份（卡尔巴拉和纳杰夫）的200名药剂师中进行。
结果
200名年龄为28.1±4.6岁、从纳杰夫和卡尔巴拉随机选取的伊拉克药剂师参与了本研究。约三分之一的参与者了解吸入器的使用。大多数参与者认为正确使用吸入器会影响患者对治疗的反应，并且药剂师必须参加课程以提升其作为教育者的资质。约三分之一的志愿者会检查吸入器的使用情况并解释吸入-屏气技术。
结论
总之，伊拉克药剂师在吸入器使用技术方面展现出一定水平的知识和实践能力，且在教导患者如何使用吸入器方面态度良好。关于如何使用吸入器的培训项目将有助于改善他们的医疗服务。
