Conditions
Brief summary
The rationale of this study is to have a better understanding of the perception of the pulmonologists, general practitioners and patients of adherence (causes, main consequences, supportive tools,..) and the use of TAI-questionnaire (appreciation, usability,…) by interviewing pulmonologists & general practitioners and a survey with patients. Based on the outcome, projects and tools can be developed to help health care professionals to motivate patients to improve adherence and to help patients to increase their adherence to inhalation therapy.
