“…It reflects a research tradition of more than 50 years of behavioral work on persons with COPD: from outdated psychoanalytic notions,8,9 through the work of Kinsman et al,10 Atkins et al,11 our group,14–19 and others.

In this narrative review, we put self-management in the context of a 50-year history of research about how patients with COPD respond to their illness. We review a definition of self-management, and emphasize that self-management should be combined with disease management and the chronic care model in order to be effective. Reviewing the empirical status of self-management in COPD, we conclude that self-management is part and parcel of modern, patient-oriented biopsychosocial care. In pulmonary rehabilitation programs, self-management is instrumental in improving patients’ functional status and quality of life. We conclude by emphasizing how studying the way persons with COPD make sense of their illness helps in refining self-management, and thereby patient-reported outcomes in COPD.

“…Marital status is often used as an index of personal stability, married and widowed persons being considered maritally adjusted and single, divorced or separated adults as maritally unstable. In 33 emphysematous patients studied by Webb and Lawton (4), the marital status adjustment was precisely inverse to that of the “universe,” 30 per cent of the emphysematous subjects being unstable compared to 70 per cent of the general population. In the present study, however, there was no difference, as indicated in Table 2.…”

In the past 50 years behavioural research on COPD patients has evolved considerably. Over time, a trend for the patient to become the central actor in the management of the illness is discernable. Evidence-based reviews indicate that self-management offers COPD patients effective options for managing their illness, leading to positive outcomes such as reduced frequency of hospitalization, greater exercise tolerance, and enhanced quality of life. Future research should focus on how self-management skills can be incorporated formally into medical care. In addition to offering suggestions on how clinicians may be instrumental in improving self-management behaviour in COPD patients, and thereby improve care outcomes, we highlight the importance of gaining insight into the perceptions of patients of their own situation, and incorporating a respect for patient perspectives into the philosophy of care.
