Summary
This study used a phenomenological research approach to explicate the
experience of asthma medication adherence as described by young adults. Data were
collected using semi-structured in-depth video interviews conducted with participants
aged between 18 and 34 years to elicit their lived experience with adherence to asthma
medication. Data from the interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the Edward
and Welch (1) extension of Colaizzi’s approach to phenomenology .
Reflection
After reading the article, I agree that not having adequate knowledge and
different beliefs about any condition will be the primary cause for the worsening of the
health of patients. Since asthma cannot be cured and often changes over time, it’s
important that you, as a person with the condition, that you are knowledgeable about it
in order for you to track your signs and symptoms and adjust your treatment as needed.
I often hearing people of age say things like, “madala rana ug hilot”, and as a
student nurse, I have the responsibility to help them be knowledgeable, but you still I
have to do it in a way that it will not be disrespectful to their beliefs. I don’t have any
related experience with the disease or people that are close to me that have it, but it it
interesting to me to learn new things every day.
As a student nurse, with the information that I absorbed from this article, it
widened my knowledge and I will be able to relay this information to the future patients
with the same disease. It may not have a cure, but with the right knowledge, right plan,
right medical belief, and enough responsibility, It can be manageable.
