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.

"The effects of an asthma education and self-management skills training program were investigated across adults with asthma. The first objective was to evaluate the effects of an asthma education and self-management skills training program on asthma medication adherence. The second objective was to see if peak flow would increase as medication adherence increased. Five participants who were non-adherent to their medication regimen were exposed to the education and self-management skills training components using a multiple baseline design across participants. During asthma education participants were taught about asthma, how to manage it using medication as well as the effects of medication adherence. During the self-management skills training participants were taught how to take an active role in managing their asthma as well as how to utilize a peak flow meter to determine lung capacity. The results indicated that the asthma education and self-management skills training have the potential to increase medication adherence. Although, the results do not indicate a strong correlation between increased medication adherence and increased peak flow measures"--Document.
