Summary

This study will evaluate the effect of metered-dose inhaler training and reminders on treatment adherence in elderly individuals.

Conditions

  • Elderly (People Aged 65 or More)

Interventions

OTHER

Metered Dose Inhaler Training

It is known that incorrect inhaler use is more common, especially in elderly individuals, and that common errors in metered-dose inhaler use include poor hand-mouth coordination, inability to simultaneously spray and inhale, and failure to hold the breath during inhalation. This study evaluates metered-dose inhaler use only in elderly individuals. Furthermore, not only will the inhaler application steps be evaluated, but the experimental group will also receive education and reminder interventions.

OTHER

Metered Dose Inhaler Reminder Card

This reminder card contains the inhaler administration steps included in the "Measured Dose Inhaler Medication Use Skill Chart". Participants in the experimental group will be able to access the medication administration steps on the reminder card before administering their inhaler medication. Participants will be asked in the final interview whether they used the reminder cards.

OTHER

Metered Dose Inhaler Application Video

This video was prepared by the responsible researcher, taking into account the application steps included in the "Metered Dose Inhaler Medication Use Skill Chart". Participants in the experimental group will be able to access the application steps via the inhaler video before administering their inhaler medication.
