“…Other ATS/ERS definitions were also used to further group severity using asthma control test (ACT) scores < 16 and asthma control questionnaire‐5 (ACQ5) scores > 1.5 . As recent reports implicated dysfunctional breathing in asthma , we examined putative mechanisms of PVCM in the final 30 patients recruited to the study using the Nijmegen questionnaire. Nijmegen scores > 20 are considered indicative of the presence of dysfunctional breathing although the instrument can be considered imprecise and relatively non‐specific.…”

“…Our findings suggested that PVCM may occur frequently in severe asthma, but it is not known whether PVCM may be an integral component of asthma itself and whether it is linked to any other particular clinical features of asthma. Additionally, recent reports have suggested that dysfunctional breathing techniques used by some asthmatics may lead to disproportionate asthma symptoms that resemble VCD‐like symptoms .…”

“…Breathlessness may also occur in the absence of a physiological origin in 'hyperventilation syndrome' where the individual breathes too deeply or rapidly. This causes other symptoms including chest tightness, dizziness, tremor and paraesthesia (Jones et al, 2013). In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), breathlessness, along with reduced mobility and function, has been found to have the biggest impact on quality of life (Wortz et al, 2012;Barnett, 2005).…”

Chest pain and palpitations, non-malignant pain, breathlessness and fatigue often endure despite the receipt of appropriate nursing and medical care. This is distressing for patients, impacts on their quality of life and ability to function and is associated with high healthcare usage and costs. The cognitive behavioural approach offers nurses a model to understand how people's perceptions and beliefs and their emotional, behavioural and physiological reactions are linked. Common 'thinking errors' which can exacerbate symptom severity and impact are highlighted. Understanding of this model may help nurses to help patients cope better with their symptoms by helping them to come up with alternative more helpful beliefs and practices. Many Improving Access to Psychological Therapy services offer support to people with chronic physical symptoms and nurses are encouraged to sign post patients to them.In this article, the authors discuss how health psychology can help nurses to help patients to manage physical symptoms which have become chronic. That is those symptoms which continue despite the patient receiving appropriate nursing and medical care. Effective management of chronic symptoms is important for the NHS since patients with such symptoms incur high healthcare costs often through frequent but avoidable use of primary and emergency care (Celano et al, 2016;Kohlmann, Gierk, Hilbert, Brähler and Löwe, 2016;Kroenke, 2014;McDaid and Park, 2015). Nurses in a variety of fields will encounter patients with chronic physical symptoms. Among the most common are nonmalignant pain, acute chest pain and palpitations, breathlessness and fatigue. These symptoms, the scale of the problem and their impact is summarized briefly below. We then discuss the dominant health psychology model for understanding chronic symptoms -the cognitive behavioural model.

“…The role of such interventions for DB in the absence of chronic disease remains unclear, due to a lack of carefully conducted and reported randomised studies (Jones et al 2013). Because of the potential clinical importance of DB, valid, simple-touse tools for its identification may be beneficial to help increase detection, assess the efficacy of interventions, and encourage appropriate evidence-based management.…”

Dysfunctional breathing is characterised by an abnormal breathing pattern leading to respiratory symptoms. The 25-item Self Evaluation of Breathing Questionnaire (SEBQ) has been developed to measure breathing-related symptoms and their severity but lacks thorough evaluation. To determine reproducibility, internal consistency and predictors of SEBQ score, 180 participants completed an online SEBQ with additional demographic and lifestyle questions. Two weeks later, 155 of those repeated SEBQ. Test-retest correlation of the SEBQ was high [intraclass correlation coefficient (3, 1) = 0.89; 95 % CI 0.85-0.92]. There was no difference in SEBQ score between test and retest (15.1 (11.6) [mean (SD)] versus 14.7 (12.4); P = 0.4) and the score showed a typical error (standard error of measurement) of 4.0. Internal consistency was high (Cronbach's α = 0.93), and a single factor structure for items was shown. Smoking status, reported respiratory disease, recent respiratory illness and female gender were positively-associated predictors of SEBQ score, and together explained 25.6 % of score variance (P ≤ 0.001). The SEBQ has high test-retest reproducibility and its score may be predicted by current smoking, chronic respiratory disease, recent respiratory illness and female gender, thus may be a useful clinical screening tool for dysfunctional breathing.
