摘要：
The main aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of using a developed asthma mobile application to enhance medication adherence in Jordan. Asthma patients visiting outpatient respiratory clinics and using inhalers were recruited. Patients were assigned into two groups: intervention and control. The intervention group was instructed to download and use the application. Asthma control was assessed using Asthma Control Test (ACT) at baseline and at follow-up of 3 months for both groups. A total of 171 patients (control, n = 83, and intervention, n = 88) participated in the study. After 3 months of usage, patients in the intervention group achieved a significant improvement in ACT score compared to control (p-value <0.05), and reported a significant satisfaction of the application use. Therefore, the asthma mobile application is found as an effective tool to enhance medication adherence in asthma patients.
