Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the issue of poor inhaler technique education for Mandarin-speaking patients in the U.S., identifying communication barriers as a significant challenge.
- The pilot involved educating these patients through a multimedia approach in an outpatient clinic, assessing their confidence and knowledge before and after the intervention.
- Results showed that most participants initially felt confident in their technique, but after the education, the majority recognized their errors, highlighting the effectiveness of targeted language interventions in improving health education.
Objective: Identify inhaler use characteristics among English (ESP) and non-English speaking patients (NSP) to develop quality improvement efforts.
Methods: Outpatients were surveyed for technique confidence, education, preferences and disease control. We compared characteristics between ESP and NSP.
