Abstract

Introduction: Asthma is thought to impact 334 million people globally at the moment, and by 2025, that number is expected to rise to 400 million. 10.4 million cases of tuberculosis (TB) and 1.4 million recorded deaths worldwide occurred in 2015. Worldwide, acute and chronic respiratory illnesses are a major cause of morbidity and mortality; this is especially true in developing nations. The present study was conducted with aim to assess the effectiveness of planned health teaching programme on knowledge and practice regarding use of metered dose inhaler among the asthmatic patients. Methodology: In the study, quantitative approach and one group pretest post test design were selected. Non-Probability, convenience sampling technique was used to select the participants for present study.  In this study, sample comprised of 60 asthmatic patients. Results: The findings of the study showed that the knowledge and practices regarding use of metered dose inhaler were limited among the participants but knolwge nd practices were improved through planned health teaching programme. The planned health teaching programme on use of metered dose inhaler was found to be effective (p<0.001) in increasing the knowledge and practices of asthmatic patients. Conclusion: This study has also proved that planned health teaching programme improves their knowledge and practices will help to minimize the health problems. The teaching program may be adopted by healthcare profesiinals to enhance the knowledge and practices towards MDI uses.
