Portuguese Family Drug Education's Respiratory Drug Class: A Delphi Research

Abdullah Al-Shamrani

Background: Respiratory conditions (RD) constitute a significant part of the workload of family croakers. There's no agreement on what family croakers should know in this area but established styles for achieving agreement may help to overcome this.

Objects: The purpose of the study was to gain a public agreement on the needed knowledge and chops in respiratory drug for family drug trainees after vocational training.

Methods: A Delphi study was conducted via e-mail with a different panel of experts. We developed a Learning Curriculum Framework (LCF) with 399 particulars acclimated from the Royal Australasian College of Physicians — Respiratory Medicine Advanced Training Curriculum. The LCF was submitted to the experts in two rounds for agreement. Consensus was considered for particulars that had an agreement of 80 in the groups above 4 on a scale of significance that ranged from 1(not important) to 5(veritably important).

Results: Consensus was attained for 159 particulars (38.8). These included structure and function of the respiratory tract(0.6), presenting problems(21.4), opinion(7.5), interventions and forestalment(11.3), COPDemphysema( 12.6), tumours(3.1), infections(10.7), tuberculosis(5.7), HIV(1.3), thromboembolic complaint(2.5), pleural- pulmonary complaint(3.1), gestation(0.6) and sleep diseases(3.8). Particulars on iatrogenic conditions and respiratory exploration didn't reach agreement.

Conclusions: Consensus on the respiratory drug class may contribute to farther development of the vocational training class in Portugal. This approach may help preceptors in other countries in Europe to develop classes for respiratory drug and other areas of general practice.
