Patient Compliance With the Spirometry Protocol

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
OBJECTIVE: In this study, the effect of brochure-based and video-assisted information given before spirometry on patient compliance will be evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a randomized controlled clinical trial. Before the test, subjects in the intervention groups will be shown a brochure explaining the steps of the spirometry protocol and a video prepared for the same purpose. Standard routine information will be given to the control group by the technician before spirometry. RESULTS: 450 patients will be included in the study. It will be investigated whether there is a difference in terms of test compliance between compliance status and age, gender, smoking status, presence of lung disease, spirometry indication, having spirometry for the first time and those receiving brochure, video and brochure-video information. Multivariate analyzes will be performed among the parameters found to be significant.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Placebo Comparator: Control group<br>Control group The control group was given standard routine information by the technician before spirometry. | Other: Education<br>* Patient education before pulmonary function test<br>|
| Experimental: Leaflet group<br>Information via leaflets: The subjects were given a leaflet prepared by the researchers based on literature review . The leaflet contained written and visual information about the steps of spirometry. The patients then underwent routine spirometry. | Other: Education<br>* Patient education before pulmonary function test<br>|
| Experimental: Video<br>Video-assisted education: Using a mobile phone, patients were shown a two-minute video prepared by the researchers in accordance with the guidelines that demonstrated how spirometry is performed. | Other: Education<br>* Patient education before pulmonary function test<br>|
| Experimental: Leaflet + Video<br>Education via leaflets + video: Subjects in this group were first given a leaflet and shown the video. They later underwent routine spirometry. | Other: Education<br>* Patient education before pulmonary function test<br>|
