“…This is in contrast to study by Carpenter DM et al, in which video demonstration of metered dose inhalers with or without spacer had improved device use at immediate visit but not at 1 month follow up [6]. Our study differs from theirs in that, our children were between the ages of 6 and 12 years in contrast to 7-17 years in their study and the device used in our study was rota haler in contrast to MDI in theirs.…”

“…Factors important in patient compliance with therapy include correct use of device, ease and convenience of use of the device and adopting a proper technique while using them [4]. Many children with asthma do not use their inhalational devices correctly and need some kind of education to improve their use [3,[5][6][7]. Though several studies regarding techniques and demonstrations to help patients use inhaler devices in an effective way have been carried out, the role of video aided demonstrations in improving rota haler technique has not yet been studied convincingly.…”

“…23 Another study found that brief videos were effective at improving the inhaler technique of children with asthma. 24 Currently, patient education materials used in pharmacies are designed for adult patients and are rarely designed to assist children in learning about their medicines. 2,11 Two studies have highlighted practical approaches and specific resources for community pharmacists to adopt and implement pediatric medication counseling services.…”

OBJECTIVESThis study aimed to describe the barriers and facilitators that influence community pharmacists' ability to provide medication counseling to pediatric patients.METHODS Semistructured interviews (n = 16) were conducted with pharmacy staff at 3 community pharmacies in 2 Eastern states. The interview guide elicited pharmacy staff experiences interacting with children and their perceived barriers and facilitators to providing medication counseling. Transcripts were reviewed for accuracy and a codebook was developed for data analysis. NVivo 10 was used for content analysis and identifying relevant themes.RESULTS Ten pharmacists and 6 pharmacy technicians were interviewed. Most participants were female (69%), aged 30 to 49 years (56%), with ≥5 years of pharmacy practice experience. Eight themes emerged as barriers to pharmacists' engaging children in medication counseling, the most prevalent being the child's absence during medication pickup, the child appearing to be distracted or uninterested, and having an unconducive pharmacy environment. Pharmacy staff noted 7 common facilitators to engaging children, most importantly, availability of demonstrative and interactive devices/technology, pharmacist demeanor and communication approach, and having child-friendly educational materials.CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest that pharmacy personnel are rarely able to engage children in medication counseling because of the patient's absence during medication pickup; however, having child-friendly materials could facilitate interactions when the child is present. These findings can inform programs and interventions aimed at addressing the barriers pharmacists encounter while educating children about safe and appropriate use of medicines.

“…Research shows that using videos to teach inhaler technique to children with asthma can improve their inhaler technique, [29,30] and thus the incorporation of these and other informative asthma videos may increase adolescent self-efficacy in their ability to manage their asthma and lead to better health outcomes. Furthermore, adolescents in our study suggested videos showing a medical professional or age-appropriate material, as mentioned by the addition of "kiddie show" for adolescents with asthma.…”

Background: Approximately 10% of adolescents in the United States have asthma. Adolescents widely use applications (apps) on mobile phones and tablet technology for social networking and gaming purposes. Given the increase in recreational app use among adolescents, leveraging apps to support adolescent asthma disease management seems warranted. However, little empirical research has influenced asthma app development; adolescent users are seldom involved in the app design process, including identifying components that meet their needs.Objective: The aim of this mixed-methods study was to assess adolescent preferences and design recommendations for an asthma self-management app.Methods: Twenty adolescents with persistent asthma (aged 12-16) provided feedback on two asthma self-management apps during in person semi-structured interviews following their regularly scheduled asthma clinic visit and via telephone 1-week later. Interviews were audiorecorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using SPSS v24 and coded thematically using MAXQDA 11.Results: Regarding aesthetics, app layout and perceived visual simplicity were important to facilitate initial app use. Adolescents were more likely to continually engage with apps that were deemed useful and met their informational needs. Adolescents also desired app features that fit within their existing paradigm/schema and included familiar components (e.g. medication alerts that appear and sound like Facetime notifications and games modeled after Quiz Up and Minecraft) as well as the ability to customize app components. They also suggested that apps include other features such as an air quality tracker and voice command. Conclusions:Involving adolescents in the early stages of app development is likely to result in an asthma app that meets their self-management needs and design preferences. This may lead to increased user engagement and ultimately the adoption and maintenance of positive asthma selfmanagement behaviors.

Using videos to teach children inhaler technique: a pilot randomized controlled trial

Abstract: A brief video intervention offered during pediatric clinic visits can lead to immediate improvements in children's inhaler technique. Future studies should evaluate whether booster training videos can help maintain improvements in children's inhaler technique over time.
