Many pediatric asthma patients exhibit non-adherence to treatment, impacting therapy effectiveness. Addressing these adherence issues is crucial for managing childhood asthma and preventing severe outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Clinical Pharmacy
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Asthma therapy effectiveness relies on treatment quality and patient adherence.
  • Non-adherence, including missed doses or incorrect techniques, significantly reduces therapeutic outcomes.
  • Unrecognized non-adherence in asthma management can lead to exacerbations, hospitalizations, and mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of non-adherence to anti-asthma therapy in pediatric patients.
  • To identify various forms of non-adherence observed in the study population.
  • To propose remedial measures for improving asthma treatment adherence.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to 168 pediatric asthma patients and their guardians.

  • Data collection focused on adherence to prescribed anti-asthma therapies.
  • The study was conducted during follow-up visits at a pediatric asthma clinic.

    • Main Results:

    • Non-adherence to anti-asthma therapy was observed in up to 68% of pediatric patients.
    • Various forms of non-adherence were identified, impacting treatment effectiveness.
    • The study highlights a high prevalence of adherence challenges in pediatric asthma care.

    Conclusions:

    • A significant proportion of pediatric asthma patients demonstrate non-adherence to their prescribed therapies.
    • Improving adherence is essential for effective asthma management and reducing healthcare burden.
    • Targeted interventions are needed to address the identified non-adherence issues in pediatric asthma care.
