COPD therapy aims to prevent and overcome acute exacerbation on COPD which could be fatal and even lead to death.
Thus, it must be prevented with optimum medication during stable condition. Bronchodilator in the form of inhalation are
preferred in COPD medication because systemic bronchodilator has many side effects compared to that of topical
bronchodilator (inhalation). DPI (dry-powder inhaler) has been developed and introduced to the market since 1967 as a
solution or choice concerning MDI (metered-dose inhaler) setbacks where patients felt difficult in coordinating hands and
lungs. Evidences suggested that multi-unit dose DPI such as Diskus® offered most reliable and consistent performance
and it is preferred by patients. The improper using of inhaler is one of the main causes holding up asthma control since it
can affect patients dosage intake which is not optimal. This research aimed to know the efficacy of Diskus® preparation
usage education given to COPD patients. Method used in this research was one study group pre-test dan post test. The
number of respondents involved in this research was 55 respondents. The result of t-test suggested that t-count is fewer
than p-value (0.05) suggesting that there was difference between pre and post test score as a result of oral or motor
evaluation. It is then concluded that Diskus® usage education affected the patients in the improvement of inhaler usage
accuracy based on oral and motor evaluation. This research only reviewed COPD patients skill in using Diskus®, thus it
is required to conduct further research to dig the understanding in the usage of Diskus® like drug indications, interval, how
to notice side effects and how to overcome them. Also, this research only reviewed knowledge increase, but yet described
outcome improvement from the using of COPD therapy itself.
