Recently the use of dry powder inhalers (DPIs) (steroids, long acting β agonists, etc.) has been increasing, and we use many different types of inhalation medicine in our hospital. Though it is difficult for medical staff other than pharmacists to instruct patients on the use of inhalers and check that they are using them properly because methods of use vary so much among products, the assistance of nurses in instructing patients is required when pharmacists are off duty. We therefore felt the need to develop a standardized instruction procedure by which nurses can instruct patients and make sure that they are using inhalers correctly. Based on the results of questionnaires given to nurses and patients and product package inserts, we prepared an instruction sheet for the use of inhalers and evaluated its effectiveness. The instruction sheet proved to be very helpful to nurses who were unfamiliar with instructing patients on the use of DPIs and the instruction was well understood by patients the first time it was given.
