dc.description.abstractObjective Inhaled drugs are essential for the treatment of several chronic respiratory diseases. However, patient inhaler techniques are frequently suboptimal; here, educational games may enhance patients' understanding of educational interventions. In addition, patients may practice repetitively, learning in a more relaxed and fun environment. In this study we aimed to compare two methods of inhaler technique training: (1) face-to-face training only and (2) face-to-face training and a subsequent puzzle game. Methods The participants in group 1 were provided only face-to-face training. In group 2, the participants were given a puzzle after receiving the face-to-face training. Subsequently, the inhaler technique scores of both groups were compared. The chi-squared (chi(2)) test was used for categorical variables and the Mann-Whitney U test (non-parametric) or Student's t test (parametric) were employed to compare the numerical variables between the groups. Results In total, 170 patients with asthma and their parents were included in the study. It was found that the median total scores for the inhaler technique (p < 0.001) and the number of correct users (p < 0.001) were higher in group 2, whereas the inhaler technique error rate in shaking the inhaler tube (p < 0.001) was higher in group 1. Conclusions The present study revealed that the success rate of correct users and participants' total scores were higher in the puzzle game group. Therefore, a game may help patients to better remember and visualize the steps of the inhaler technique. Our study supports the use of puzzles as real-world applications to teach patients optimal inhaler technique.en_US
