ICS
ICS Adherence
-
The longer patients were on an ICS prescription, the more consistant their hospital visits (for prescriptions refills) became. (Ferris et al., 2006)
Factors such as less than sufficient amounts of formal education, inadequate communication with the given healthcare provider, and milder asthma all contribute to low adherene rates. (Barnes & Ulrik, 2014)
Increased adhernece resukts in fewer hospitalization rates, fewer course of oral steroids, and a lower mortality rate. (Barnes & Ulrik, 2014)
Adherence is more motivating when a LABA is added to the ICS dosage since positive outcomes are more ceratin. (Aalbers et al., 2016)
ICS Education
-
Community pharmicists can apply the details known a patient's situation (internal/external factors) and use this to educate them on the best way to combat their asthma and make a plan that will aid in their dherence to ICS. (Alotaibi et. al., 2016)
Patients are much more adherent to combined inhalers when properly informed on their effectiveness. (Murphy et al., 2012)
The understaning of BAME groups needs to be recognized by caretakers in order for the paitient-carer bond to be stronger, and for the patient to feel respected and recieve proper education. This wields higher adherence. (Gault et al., 2019)
Asthma Causes
Internal Factors
-
South Asians are faced with stress and low self-confidence that worsens asthma and causes them to not feel comfotable consulting their doctor. (Griffiths et al., 2001)
External Factors
The environmental factors found in urban areas more commonly cause asthma, but can vary in how they affect individuals based on varying gene structure. (Gold & Wright, 2005)
-
External factors are the reasn for higher prevalence in the black community and often pertain SES factors. (Sullivan & Thakur, 2020)
