A Randomized Comparison between Video Demonstration and Verbal Instruction in Improving Rota Haler Technique in Children with Persistent Asthma: A Pilot Study

Pharmacist Led Intervention on Inhalation Technique among Asthmatic Patients for Improving Quality of Life in a Private Hospital of Nepal

“…As our study sampled more old patients (>59 years), these age group preferred to understand the verbal method rather than video method of demonstration therefore in this study, majority of the patients responded equally to the verbal method and video method. e proportion of patients following good technique was signi cantly more in the video group than the oral instruction group at immediate assessment and also at one month post intervention ( = 0.0262 and = 0.0075 respectively) by the study conducted by Arumugom et al [31] which is in contrast to our study. is might be because practical demonstrations received by patients lead to better inhaler technique outcomes than oral or printed instructions received by patients.…”

“…is nding is in agreement with study carried out by Shimpi [32]. is result is in contrary to study done by Arumugam et al [31] and Kumar et al [33] where methyxanthine class of antiasthmatic drugs (80%) and (40%) was found to be among the maximum used category.…”

Effectiveness and perception of demonstration-observation- assistance-performance (DOAP) versus video-assisted learning (VAL) in training advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) among medical interns – A comparative study

“…Arumugom A and Chandrasekaran V in a Randomized Comparison study between video demonstration and verbal instruction in Improving Rota haler technique in children with persistent asthma found that the number of children achieving good Rota haler technique was significantly more in the video demonstration group at immediate assessment (57.14% vs 14.28%, p value = 0.0461) and after one month following intervention (92.86% vs 35.71%, p value = 0.0044). [ 28 ] The novelty of the present study is that such studies are lacking from EDs in India on training in important life-saving topics like ACLS, the recommendations of which can apply to developing countries. Najafi Z et al .,[ 29 ] in a comparison study in Iran on the effect of education through video versus demonstration on fear of falling in nursing home residents, showed that higher efficacy of the demonstration training method compared to the video method in reducing the fear of falling in the elderly.…”
