To investigate the correlation between self-assessment by patients and an assessment by a health professional of the skills needed for self administration of adrenaline by auto-injectors. These skills include the identification of situations requiring the administration of adrenaline and the technical abilities to achieve it.
Hypothesis:
A self-assessment correlated with an external assessment would make it easier to adjust the frequency of therapeutic education sessions based on the patient's self-assessment alone.
Full description
Intramuscular Adrenaline is the standard treatment for severe to moderate anaphylaxis. Self-administration of Adrenaline by the patient using an auto-injector pen in case of anaphylaxis is a major axis of management of patients with severe food allergy, hymenoptera venom allergy or systemic mastocytosis. This self-administration skill requires prior therapeutic education of the patient. This education must be repeated over time and must include two components: the identification of anaphylactic situations requiring the self-administration of Adrenalin and the technical skills and abilities to carry out this self-injection.
Numerous studies have investigated the technical skills for using Adrenaline auto-injector pens according to the device prescribed, the importance of therapeutic education, the optimal frequency of therapeutic education sessions for self-administration and the main barriers to the use of Adrenaline.
To our knowledge, no study has investigated the correlation between patients' self-assessment of the skills required for self-administration of Adrenaline by self-injecting pen and an external assessment of these same skills by a health professional.
A self-assessment correlated with an external assessment would make it easier to adjust the frequency of therapeutic education sessions based on patient self-assessment alone.
