Sub-optimal chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management has been found largely due to patients’ medication non-adherence and incorrect inhaler technique. This study aimed to examine inhaler use technique and medication adherence among Vietnamese COPD patients as well as potential associated factors. A cross-sectional study involving 70 COPD exacerbators was conducted. Inhaler technique and adherence were evaluated by the 10-item and 12-item Test of Adherence to Inhaler (TAI). Data on the history of COPD, home prescription of inhalers and duration of hospitalization were also collected. Generalized linear regression models were used to determine the associated factors with inhaler use and medication adherence. The results showed that the proportion of patients with good inhaler technique was 22.7% for metered-dose inhalers (MDI), 30.4% for dry powder inhalers (DPI) and 31.8% for soft-mist inhalers (SMI). Full exhalation was the most common mistake. The rates of non-compliance patterns were: “ignorant” (77.1%), “sporadic” (58.6%), and “deliberate” (55.7%). Worse dyspnea, greater health condition impairment, and an increased frequency of exacerbations and hospitalizations were found to be associated negatively with correct inhaler use and treatment adherence. Instructions to COPD patients about using inhalers should focus on correct inhaler technique and adherence even when feeling healthy.

AbstrakPenyakit Paru Obstuktif Kronik (PPOK) adalah penyakit dengan karakteristik keterbatasan saluran napas yang tidak sepenuhnya reversibel dan dapat dicegah. Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara berkembang yang memiliki jumlah perokok aktif yang tinggi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran derajat merokok pada penderita PPOK di Bagian Paru Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Dr. M. Djamil Padang. Ini adalah penelitian deskriptif retrospektif dengan menggunakan data rekam medik penderita merokok dengan yang dirawat di Bagian Paru Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Dr. M. Djamil. Data sekunder diambil dari rekam medik penderita Penyakit Paru Obstruktif Kronik (PPOK) yang dirawat di Bagian Paru Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat dari  1 Januari 2013 sampai 31 Desember 2013. Data diolah secara manual dan disajikan dalam bentuk tabel distribusi frekuensi. Sebanyak 20 subjek didapatkan nilai indeks brinkman berat sebanyak 15 orang. Setelah dilakukan uji statistik didapatkan hubungan yang signifikan antara derajat merokok dengan derajat keparahan PPOK (p = 0,033) dan korelasi yang kuat antara keduanya (r  = 0,577). Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan dan korelasi yang kuat antara derajat merokok dengan derajat keparahan PPOK.Kata kunci: merokok. indeks Brinkman, PPOK AbstractCOPD is a disease with airway limitation characteristic. That is not fully reversible and can be prevented. Smoking is the leading cause of COPD. Indonesia is one of the developing countries that have a high number of active smokers. The increase in prevalence is also occurred in the province of West Sumatra, which increased from 30.2% in 2007 to 38.4% in 2010. The objective of this study was to describe the degree of smoking in patients with COPD in Pulmonary Section General Hospital Dr. M. Djamil. This study used a retrospective descriptive design using medical record data of smoker patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who were treated in the Pulmonary Section General Hospital Dr. M. Djamil. The data was taken from the secondary status of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who were treated in Pulmonary Section General Hospital from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 that recorded in the medical record. Data processed manually from the status of COPD patients and were presented in the form of frequency distribution table. From 20 subjects obtained that 15 samples were classified to severe Brinkman index.  Statistical tests found a significant relationship between the degree of smoking with COPD severity (p = 0.033) and a strong correlation between the two (r  = 0.577). There is a significant relationship and strong correlation between the degree of smoking with COPD severity.Keywords: smoking, Brinkman Index, COPD

BACKGROUND: Exposure to cigarette smoke is one risk factor that can lead to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). AIM: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between smoking and the stage of COPD. METHODS: This study used a cross-sectional survey design. A total of 60 COPD patients were involved in the study between September and November 2015 at the pulmonary ward of Zainoel Abidin General Hospital (ZAGH), Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The data were analyzed with the non-parametric bivariate test. RESULTS: The results showed that 55% of patients with COPD were aged between 40 and 60 years; 63.33% of them were heavy smokers. About 50% of moderate smokers suffered from Stage III COPD, while 34.21% of heavy smokers suffered from Stage III and Stage VI (severe) COPD, respectively, with p = 0.007. CONCLUSIONS: There is a strong relationship between smoking and COPD stage among patients at ZAGH.
