Outcome measures
Primary outcome
This project will result in the PCAMQ.
Secondary outcome
Identifying the opinions and ideas of asthma patients regarding their inhaler medication.
Background summary
This study aims to develop the Patient-Centered Asthma Management Questionnaire (PCAMQ), which measures patients’ reliever and controller medication and their beliefs regarding asthma medication. To this end, two focus groups and two interviews will be conducted in several countries (Netherlands,Canada, Spain, France, UK). Eventually, resulting the PCAMQ.
Study objective
Succesful asthma control is still limited in clinical practice, despite the availability of effective treatments. Many patients rely on their short activing bronchodilator for the management of their asthma because of the immediate effects, rather than the treatment of the underlying inflammation by inhaled corticosteroids. The persistance of unbalanced reliever- and controller medication use indicates that other solutions besides advocating guideline-based treatment are required.
Study design
2 focusgroups(6-8 participants) and 2 interviews(2 participants) will be conducted. Each will be performed in several countries (Netherlands,Canada, Spain, France, UK).
