Many patients suffering from asthma are not compliant to their treatment and consequently, are not well controlled. Shared decision making intervention has shown an improvement in the outcome of patients with chronic disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate decisional conflict and to assess decisional needs of adults with asthma.
Asthmatic patients will be recruited and asked to fill a decisional conflict scale. Patients, asthma educators and physicians will also be recruited to fill a needs assessment questionnaire about decisions taken by asthmatics.
