Objective: To evaluate the effect of video-based education on at-home use of inhalation device for outpatients. Methods: Education videos of compressed-air nebulizer

pressurized metered dose inhaler (MDI) with spacer (face mask) and inhalation powder (turbuhaler) were made. The effect of video-based education of inhalation device was investigated by questionnaire. A total of 100 patients were selected for each survey. The patients were first asked to watch the instruction manual of the drug and the air compression atomizer for rating (score 1)

and then the patients were asked to watch the video and learn to use it for rating (score 2). SPSS 22. 0 statistical software was used to analyze the score. Results: Compared with simply reading the instructions

the video-based education of inhalation device was effective in increasing the correct use of compressed-air nebulizer (Z = -8. 231

P<0. 01)

MDI with spacer (face mask

Z = -8. 518

P<0. 01) and inhalation powder (turbuhaler) (Z = -8. 145

P<0. 01). Conclusion: The video-based education of inhalation device can effectively improve the ability of patients in correctly using compressed-air nebulizer

MDI with spacer (face mask) and inhalation powder (turbuhaler).
