Abstract(s)
Introdução – Uma execução incorreta da inalação é o principal motivo de insucesso
terapêutico e, por isso, é extremamente relevante a realização apropriada da técnica para que
ocorra uma adequada administração do fármaco nas vias aéreas e, posteriormente, um melhor
controlo da doença respiratória e uma melhoria substancial na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos.
Objetivos – Avaliar a técnica de terapêutica inalatória realizada, de forma simulada, pelos doentes
com patologias respiratórias, antes e após uma sessão de ensino. Métodos – O estudo é do tipo
analítico, observacional e transversal, com uma amostra constituída por 15 indivíduos do Centro
de Saúde de São Tiago e do Centro de Saúde de São Miguel de Castelo Branco, com qualquer
tipo de patologia respiratória adquirida, que utilizavam inaladores como forma terapêutica da
doença e com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos. Resultados – A maioria dos participantes (80%)
não realizou corretamente a sua inalação, cometendo pelo menos um erro major e/ou minor.
Discussão – Apesar da discrepância do número de participantes entre este trabalho e alguns
estudos anteriormente realizados por outros autores, todos apresentaram resultados idênticos
aos que se obtiveram. Desta forma, a literatura existente suporta os resultados desta investigação.
Conclusão – Perante a existência de doentes com erros na inalação é essencial avaliar a frequência
de exposição dos mesmos à informação/formação teórica e prática no uso dos inaladores, tendo
como foco principal a correção dos erros identificados. Neste sentido, os técnicos profissionais de
saúde assumem um papel indispensável na educação e ensino dos doentes.
Abstract: Introduction – An incorrect execution of inhalation is the main reason for therapeutic failure and, therefore, it’s extremely important the proper execution of the technique so that an adequate administration of the drug in the airways occurs and, subsequently, better control of respiratory disease and a substantial improvement in the quality of life of individuals. Objectives – To evaluate the inhaler therapeutic technique performed, in a simulated form, by patients with respiratory pathologies, before and after a teaching session. Methods – The study is analytical, observational, and cross-sectional, with a sample consisting of 15 individuals from the São Tiago and São Miguel Health Centres in Castelo Branco, with any type of acquired respiratory pathology, who used inhaler devices as a therapeutic form of the disease and aged 18 years or older. Results – Most participants (80%) did not correctly perform their inhalation, making at least one major and/or minor error. Discussion – Despite the discrepancy in the number of participants between this study and some studies previously conducted by other authors, all of them showed identical results to those obtained in this study. Thus, the existing literature supports the results of this research. Conclusion – In view of the existence of patients with inhaler errors, it is essential to evaluate the frequency of their exposure to theoretical and practical information/training on the use of inhalers, with the main focus on the correction of errors detected. In this sense, technical health professionals present an indispensable role in the education and teaching of patients.
