Asthma symptom perception accuracy did not directly correlate with medication adherence in adults. However, factors like asthma duration and illness perception influenced how accurately patients perceived their condition.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Asthma symptom perception is crucial for self-management.
  • Understanding the link between perception and adherence is key for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate asthma symptom perception in adults.
  • To examine the relationship between symptom perception and treatment adherence.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study of 120 adult asthma patients using Advair.
  • Assessed subjective symptoms, peak expiratory flow rates (PEFR), illness identity, and asthma severity.
  • Measured adherence via Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS) and dose count.

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in adherence between good and poor symptom perceivers.

  • Years with asthma, illness identity, and peak flow variability significantly explained perceptual accuracy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Peak flow variability complicates the relationship between perceptual accuracy and adherence.
    • Further research is needed to understand these complex interactions.
