Despite huge progress on the management of asthma in recent decades, suboptimal health outcomes associated with under-management is still commonly encountered. Self management was shown to be a both clinically and cost effective approach to improve asthma outcomes in some studies. The role of pharmacists in promoting self management of asthma was explored in individual studies but limited review was conducted to assess its effectiveness. Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of pharmacist interventions on the self management of asthma patients in the community setting and to examine if the benefits, if any, could be realized by implementing such interventions in Hong Kong. Methods: A systematic search was conducted on Medline, Embase, Pubmed and Cochrane Library without time limit to identify studies assessing the clinical, humanistic and economic outcomes of pharmacist-led self management interventions towards adolescent or adult patients with asthma compared to usual care. Risk of bias of studies was appraised using a tool adapted from the Effective Practice of Organization of Care version of the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Results: The search yielded 504 studies of which eight studies were eligible for inclusion. The included studies involved 1674 patients, were published between 2001 and 2008 and were originated from seven countries. Discrepancies of findings were noted in the majority of outcome measures reviewed. Significant benefits of pharmacist interventions included improvement of inhalation technique and reduction of rescue medication use although no significant effect was observed with regard to forced expiratory volume in one second and days lost from work or school. Conclusions: The evidence of pharmacist interventions on the self management of asthma remains inconsistent, probably attributable to variable quality of studies and heterogeneous assessment methods and outcome measures. Future research should aim to produce randomized, controlled studies incorporating allocation concealment with a follow-up period of over one year. Nevertheless, pharmacist-led asthma self management initiatives could be implemented at the general outpatient clinic setting in Hong Kong to further improve the quality of primary care.

Asthma is a common chronic disease in Australia with suboptimal self-care. The peak flow meter (PFM) is a simple device recommended as part of asthma self-management, but is largely underutilised in current practice. This project aims to explore the prospect of a pharmacist-instigated asthma self-management intervention, and whether the introduction of a PFM with appropriate education can improve asthma control and engagement in asthma self-management. The study was designed as a crossover before-and-after randomised controlled-intervention pilot study. Twelve participants completed the study, who were adults living in Darwin, previously diagnosed with asthma and did not use a PFM regularly. Participants in the intervention group were provided with a PFM and asthma education. The study then evaluated participants' awareness and asthma control using validated questionnaires and formative feedback. The effects of PFM utilisation on asthma knowledge and asthma control were not statistically significant in either groups, however, the majority of participants' feedback indicated an increased awareness and better quantification of asthma control.

BACKGROUND: As the prevalence and burden of asthma continues to grow, so does the need to identify and invest resources in effective interventions. Asthma self-management education (AS-ME) packages facilitate knowledge and self-care for asthma patients and families. Many AS-ME interventions are widely studied, but uncertainty remains about optimal design, characteristics, and implementation. Heterogeneity in format, delivery mechanisms, target audiences, and other features complicates efforts to identify best practices in designing AS-ME packages. PURPOSE: To identify components of AS-ME packages, and examine, compare, and organize key characteristics and available research to improve understanding of current practice and future needs. METHODS: Existing AS-ME packages were identified, acquired, and reviewed. Major characteristics were evaluated, including population, audience, setting, delivery mechanism, and content. Key Informants were interviewed to identify contextual factors affecting development and implementation of AS-ME packages. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify and synthesize current research. FINDINGS: We reviewed 14 AS-ME packages for adults, adolescents, children, and parents, designed for use in schools, community-based sites, healthcare facilities, or patient homes. Most packages facilitate education in-person with an instructor, while a few are self-directed. Learning materials are typically paper based, and few packages incorporate audiovisual or online content. Most packages are available in English and Spanish, and most are free. Packages address asthma knowledge, medication and device use, symptom management, and asthma triggers. Most packages are generally up to date. Implementation of AS-ME packages varies widely. Most packages were developed or disseminated by a few professional or patient advocacy organizations. Instructors often tailor packages to local settings and many homegrown packages also exist. We reviewed 7 systematic reviews and 33 primary studies published since 2007. Half evaluated school-based packages, while the others examined home or community settings. Most studies were conducted in children or adolescents. Frequently reported outcomes include asthma control, asthma knowledge, symptoms, quality of life, hospitalizations, and emergency department use. AS-ME packages were generally associated with improved asthma control, reduced symptom frequency, increased asthma knowledge, and fewer school absences. Results were mixed when examining hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: A robust choice of branded AS-ME packages exists for many patient populations and settings, although these vary in structure, delivery, and accessibility. Homegrown packages are also common but not widely shared. Further research on home-based and adult-focused packages is needed.
