This<strong> 10-question<\/strong> test <strong>in Basque <\/strong>proved to be very reliable and valid in identifying those who <strong>do not follow the prescribed guidelines or apply the inhalation technique incorrectly<\/strong>. Patients with more severe symptoms or frequent attacks scored higher, which translates into greater adherence and better results, confirming that the test is useful in daily practice.<\/p>\n<p>More than<strong> 30% used inhalers incorrectly<\/strong>, especially asthma patients, which shows the importance of detecting these problems. Medical and healthcare personnel in the Basque Country are now recommended to use this test in Basque to quickly determine whether a patient is using their inhaler correctly and to give them practical advice in their own language. This is particularly beneficial for Basque-speaking patients with chronic respiratory problems, making <strong>care more personalised <\/strong>and adapted to our reality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bio-sistemak.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oxigeno-pulmones.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19529 size-fusion-400\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bio-sistemak.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oxigeno-pulmones-400x342.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bio-sistemak.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oxigeno-pulmones-200x171.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.bio-sistemak.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oxigeno-pulmones-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bio-sistemak.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oxigeno-pulmones-400x342.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.bio-sistemak.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oxigeno-pulmones-600x514.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bio-sistemak.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oxigeno-pulmones-768x658.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bio-sistemak.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oxigeno-pulmones-800x685.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bio-sistemak.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oxigeno-pulmones-1024x877.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bio-sistemak.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oxigeno-pulmones-1200x1027.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bio-sistemak.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oxigeno-pulmones.jpg 1224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Osakidetza has funded this project, which arose from the need to promote and establish the use of Basque, in accordance with its own regulations and strategic plans for the normalisation of the use of Basque.
