This study was conducted to explore potential for implementation of the intervention. The study aim was to explore views of those with a vested interest in implementing the FeNO intervention into primary care asthma reviews. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted online with individuals, including those with experience in policymaking, healthcare management, National Health Service commissioning, as healthcare professionals (HCPs) with extended roles, and patients and advocates. Inductive thematic analysis was conducted for nineteen interviews. Findings suggest complex interplay of barriers, contextual issues and facilitators. Overall, participants perceived FeNO-informed asthma management would enhance care, if used appropriately and flexibly according to context, for example planning implementation alongside remote reviews. Easier, equitable access to funded FeNO equipment would be needed for national implementation. Participants suggested motivation of all involved in future implementation may be increased by guidelines recommending FeNO, and by use of financial incentives and champions sharing best practice examples. In conclusion, financial obstacles were reiterated as a primary barrier to FeNO use.

The concept incorporates guidance to facilitate the effective diagnosis of adults or children with asthma in primary care where misdiagnosis is common. The jigsaw puzzle metaphor teaches a problem-solving approach to diagnosis, introducing the concept of diagnosis over time and in no particular sequence. Puzzle pieces can be collected from the domains of presentation, history, symptoms and physical examination, as well as objective tests. The clinician's challenge is to complete the diagnostic jigsaw puzzle testing the likelihood of a picture which can be recognised as asthma. This approach aligns with symptom-based pattern-recognition approaches taught to primary care clinicians which gets easier and more reliable with experience. Relational continuity, or informational continuity through the patient record, is integral to the process of puzzle completion. Where non-fitting puzzle pieces are encountered, alternative or additional diagnoses should be considered and/or referral to secondary care pursued. As a metaphor, 'puzzle completion' may be used within clinical communication encounters, addressing the importance of partnership working ('completing the puzzle together'), uncertainty (deciding 'which pieces fit') and changes in symptoms over time (enabling the 'puzzle picture to become clearer'). Adaptation of this teaching concept has started through translation of educational resources, including puzzle pieces. Supporting case vignettes developed locally will contextualise the jigsaw puzzle teaching concept. The Asthma Diagnosis Jigsaw Puzzle teaching concept has been piloted in North Macedonia and is also developed for educational workshops by primary care health educators in Malaysia, India and Uganda.</p>","PeriodicalId":19470,"journal":{"name":"NPJ Primary Care Respiratory Medicine","volume":"35 1","pages":"14"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11910506/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143634364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low-cost, non-drug, breathlessness self-management interventions are effective in high-income countries. However, health beliefs influence acceptability and have not been explored in LMIC settings. Review with stakeholder engagement to co-develop explanatory programme theories for whom, if, and how breathlessness self-management might work in community settings in India. Iterative and systematic searches identified peer-reviewed articles, policy and media, and expert-identified sources. Data were extracted in terms of contribution to theory (high, medium, low), and theories developed with stakeholder groups (doctors, nurses and allied professionals, people with lived experiences, lay health workers) and an International Steering Group (RAMESES guidelines (PROSPERO42022375768)). One hundred and four data sources and 11 stakeholder workshops produced 8 initial programme theories and 3 consolidated programme theories. (1) Context: breathlessness is common due to illness, environment, and lifestyle. Cultural beliefs shape misunderstandings about breathlessness; hereditary, part of aging, linked to asthma. It is stigmatised and poorly understood as a treatable issue. People often use rest, incense, or tea, while avoiding physical activity due to fear of worsening breathlessness. Trusted voices, such as healthcare workers and community members, can help address misconceptions with clear, simple messages. (2) Breathlessness intervention applicability: nonpharmacological interventions can work across different contexts when they address unhelpful beliefs and behaviours. Introducing concepts like \"too much rest leads to deconditioning\" aligns with cultural norms while promoting beneficial behavioural changes, such as gradual physical activity. Acknowledging breathlessness as a medical issue is key to improving patient and family well-being. (3) Implementation: community-based healthcare workers are trusted but need simple, low-cost resources/skills integrated into existing training. Education should focus on managing acute episodes and daily breathlessness, reducing fear, and encouraging behavioural change. Evidence-based tools are vital to gain support from policymakers and expand implementation. Breathlessness management in India must integrate symptom management alongside public health and disease treatment strategies. Self-management interventions can be implemented in an LMIC setting.

The proportion of current smokers among COVID-19 patients was lower than that among influenza patients (OR = 0.25, 95% CI: 0.18-0.33). Patients with COVID-19 had longer stays in the hospital (MD = 3.20, 95% CI: 2.58-3.82) and ICU (MD = 3.10, 95% CI: 1.44-4.76), required mechanical ventilation more frequently (OR = 2.30, 95% CI: 1.77-3.00), and had higher mortality (OR = 2.22, 95% CI: 1.93-2.55). We also found significant differences in some blood parameters between the two groups of patients. Upper respiratory symptoms were more obvious in influenza patients, and the proportion of comorbidities was higher than that among COVID-19 patients. There are some differences in the major characteristics, symptoms, laboratory findings and comorbidities between COVID-19 patients and influenza patients. COVID-19 patients often require more medical resources and have worse clinical outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":19470,"journal":{"name":"NPJ Primary Care Respiratory Medicine","volume":"35 1","pages":"8"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11775258/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143059630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
