Asthma and COPD are two respiratory conditions affecting millions of people around the world leading to morbidity and mortality [Inhaled medications are the cornerstone management for both asthma and COPD [Patient education on the correct use of inhalers can be crucial for technique mastery and the effective management of asthma and COPD, ameliorating symptom control, disease-related QoL, and medication adherence [Despite being an effective educative method, studies showed that the inhaler technique, initially improved after a TTG education, deteriorates over time [The present study thus aimed to provide asthma and COPD patients with a novel inhaler educational approach, through the development of video-based Teach-To-Goal education that can be easily accessible by the patient at any time after the clinic visit. The study investigated the impact of this novel approach on the mastery of inhaler technique as well as other clinical parameters, asthma/COPD control, medication adherence, and quality of life.
