背景：全球哮喘医生和患者（GAPP）调查是第一个全球定量调查，旨在揭示不同组的医生和患者对哮喘的态度和治疗实践，目的是确定最佳管理的障碍。方法：在全球范围内通过在线、电话和面对面的方式对5582名医生和患者进行了访谈。本文重点介绍了在16个国家进行的成人调查（3559次访谈）的主要全球发现。结果：当被调查者被问到同样的问题时，医生和病人的反应是不同的。发现这两组受访者对花费在哮喘教育上的时间、医患沟通的质量、对副作用的认识和体验以及对治疗不依从性的理解和认识存在差异。结论：GAPP调查不仅明确了哮喘治疗中未满足的需求，还揭示了医患沟通质量、治疗副作用水平和患者依从程度之间存在直接关系。这些调查结果突出了改善以患者为中心的哮喘护理的明确需要。
Background: The Global Asthma Physician and Patient (GAPP) Survey is the first global quantitative survey designed to uncover asthma attitudes and treatment practices among separate groups of physicians and patients, with the goal of identifying barriers to optimal management.Method: A total of 5582 physician and patient interviews were conducted globally online, by telephone and face-to-face. This paper highlights key global findings from the adult arm (3559 interviews) conducted in 16 countries.Results: Physician and patient responses were found to differ when respondents were asked the same set of questions. Perceptions of time spent on asthma education, the quality of physician-patient communications, awareness and experience of side effects and understanding and knowledge of treatment noncompliance were found to differ between these two sets of respondents.Conclusions: The GAPP Survey not only defines an unmet need in asthma treatment, but also reveals that there is a direct relationship between the quality of physician-patient communication, the level of treatment side effects and the extent of patient compliance. These survey findings highlight a clear need for improved patient-focused care in asthma.
