The Extent of Patient’s Satisfaction Regarding Inhaler Counselling in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – A Cross-sectional Study

Background Asthma is a common condition of chronic inflammation of the lower respiratory tract. Non-adherence to inhalation therapy and incorrect inhalation techniques is an important problem for optimal disease management. However, no previous studies have been conducted in Saudi Arabia to evaluate patient satisfaction with pharmacist counseling. Thus, we aim to study the extent of patient satisfaction with inhaler counseling and the factors associated with the appropriate use of inhaler techniques in Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross-sectional single-center face-to-face meeting survey was carried out between January to March 2024. That was conducted at Heraa General Hospital, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. We used a 16-item questionnaire by Counseling’s Satisfaction and Appropriate Use of Inhaler Technique (CSAUIT). Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test. P
