PASAPQ score pMDI (n = 23) Turbuhaler (n = 8) Accuhaler (n = 5) Autohaler (n = 1) Correct Technique (n = 4)a Incorrect Technique (n = 33)a
Satisfaction with performanceb 41.8 ± 5.4 40.3 ± 6.4 40.2 ± 9.8 48 ± 0 40.0 ± 7.7 41.6 ± 6.1
Satisfaction with conveniencec 34.4 ± 4.8 36.5 ± 4.1 31.8 ± 5.9 41 ± 0 31.5 ± 4.9 35.1 ± 4.8

Values are means ± SD.

a

n is smaller here than in Table 3, because a single PASAPQ score was given to cover the one device if patients used two or more of the same type of device.

b

Score can range from 7 to 49. Scores ≥35 from Likert scale indicate at least “somewhat satisfied” and ≥42 indicate at least “satisfied.”

c

Score can range from 6 to 42. Scores ≥30 from Likert scale indicate at least “somewhat satisfied” and ≥36 indicate at least “satisfied.”

d

Score can range from 1 to 7. Scores ≥5 from Likert scale indicate at least “somewhat satisfied” and ≥6 indicate at least “satisfied.”
