Sponsor's own description

Asthma and COPD are common chronic diseases of respiratory system. The correct use of inhalers is crucial in terms of efficacy of the treatment, however both asthma and COPD patients quite frequently misuse the inhalers. The objective of this study is to determine the factors influencing the number of inhalation errors committed by asthma and COPD patients when using the inhalers. In included patients the inhalation technique will be evaluated (by both list of inhalation errors and 4 point scale of proper inhaling) by two observers and the below information will be collected: * general demographic information and education level * information concerning time of diagnosis, the previous course of disease, smoking history, number of previous inhalation techniques training, the sources of information about the inhalation technique and adherence to therapy * Asthma Control Test or COPD Assessment Test (respectively for asthma and COPD) * assessment of quality of life (St. George's Questionnaire for COPD and Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire for asthma) * cognitive functions assessment using Mini-Mental State Examination * the simplified assessment of vision impairments * the results of spirometry
