Introduction:
Teaching inhaler techniques to nursing students is crucial.
Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the effect of simulation-based education on patient training correct inhaler technique in nursing students.
Methods:
This is a single-blind, randomized controlled trial in which nursing students are randomly allocated into two groups of control (n = 41) and intervention (n = 40). The students' mean score of correct inhaler technique was measured before and one week after intervention, using checklists of inhaler techniques.
Results:
The mean score of control group was significantly lower than the intervention group (p < .001). The results also revealed that there was no significant difference in students' level of confidence regarding the ability to educate patients on inhaler techniques before the intervention, while all students were shown to have higher levels of confidence in this term after the intervention.
Conclusions:
Simulation is an effective way to train nursing students in the correct inhaler techniques.

Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
