Influence of an interactive computer-based inhaler technique tutorial on patient knowledge and inhaler technique.
Patient knowledge of correct inhaler technique is essential in the treatment of pulmonary disease. Computer delivery of educational content may augment existing teaching efforts. ⋯ Patients in the tutorial group demonstrated better inhaler technique and scored higher on the Inhaler Technique Knowledge Test compared with those in a control group. This tutorial may be a useful educational tool to enhance patient education regarding inhaler technique.
