Abstract:
The article presents results of examination of satisfaction of patients with bronchoobstructive diseases by receiving information about disease, preferred topics for discussion and sources of information. The data was compared with opinions of health care specialists. The questionnaire survey was carried out among both physicians treating patients with diagnosis of "asthma" and "chronic obstructive pulmonary disease" (COPD), and patients with the same diagnoses. The overwhelming majority of patients during visit of physician are lacking time to receive information about their illness, including about its treatment. The schools for patients are not visited by 89% of patients. At that, most of them are aged 45 years and older and have diagnosis of COPD. The additional information is searched in Internet by 92% of patients. At that, level of trust to such sources is low. The results of questionnaire survey of physicians confirmed data received from patients: lacking time for answers and questions, low attendance of patient schools. The obtained results can be used in development of educational projects for patients, taking into account their preferences in receiving information.

Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...
