The keys measures to improve adherence to treatment are associated with establishment of the high-level doctor-patient cooperation between the patient and doctor, explanation to the patient target of goals and treatment regimen of the treatment and repeated trainings to use in correct inhaler use correctly. Our results states that adherence to treatment could be improved from 43.7 to 83.5 % within 2 months.
