“…The assumption that patient education would result in the improvement of patientsí QoL has been well-supported by numerous studies (19,20,26), including in a hospital setting (15). Although the change in our subjectsí overall QoL scores at follow-up were not statistically valid, we were able to discern noticeable trends in certain aspects of the QoL algorithms.…”

“…Quality-of-life scales were selected in accordance with currently employed general and diseasespecific algorithms (15,28,29). For adherence, we used the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) which has been validated for chronic disease conditions as well as COPD (22,30).…”

“…Patient education programs improve patientsí health awareness and knowledge, symptom management, self-care practices and overall health status (10)(11)(12) thereby reducing the propensity for negative outcomes and associated treatment costs (13,14). Similar programs designed for patients with COPD have been implemented, especially around exacerbations (15)(16)(17), in community pharmacy settings (18)(19), or during rehabilitation (20,21). In recent years there have been studies that have looked at the impact of patient education programs on QoL or adherence or both (22)(23)(24)(25)(26) in patients with COPD.…”

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a severe respiratory disorder that poses a tremendous burden on healthcare and economic resources. The prevalence of COPD has been steadily rising globally (1) and COPD-associated mortality is predicted to be the third-leading cause of death by 2020 (2). While smoking is one of the major risk factors for developing COPD, other triggers include age, genetic predisposition, and history of bronchial asthma and recurrent respiratory infections (3). Age and COPD prevalence appears to have a positive correlation and approximately 9.0-10.0% of the >40-years population presents with COPD (4). The main goal of COPD management is to maintain stable lung function and prevent acute exacerbations. The pharmacotherapy of COPD includes bronchodilators such as fl2-adrenergic agonists (BAs) and muscarinic antagonists (MAs), and inhaled corticosteroids (5). The preferred route of administration of these agents is via the inhalation due to its advantages GENERAL

This study aims to investigate the disease knowledge and self-management behavior of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the respiratory ward of a tertiary hospital in China, and analyze the relationship between these. A total of 360 COPD patients were surveyed using the internationally validated COPD Questionnaire (COPD-Q), the COPD Patients’ Self-Management Behavior Scale and a general sociodemographic questionnaire, and 346 valid responses were obtained. The results revealed that the surveyed COPD patients scored an average of 4.90 ± 2.50 points (maximal of 13 points) on the COPD-Q and 117.23 ± 20.56 points on the COPD Self-Management Behavior Scale, in which 86.1% of COPD patients were classified as having low to medium levels of self-management behavior. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the total points on the COPD Self-Management Behavior Scale, symptom management, daily life management, emotional management and information management were all positively correlated to the disease knowledge of COPD ( P < .01). In addition to COPD knowledge, the multiple regression analysis revealed that age, marital status and place of residence could also affect self-management behavior. The level of disease knowledge and self-management behaviors of patients with COPD is rather low in China. COPD knowledge level was found to correlate with the level of self-management behavior. Health education that enhances the disease knowledge of COPD patients might thereby be necessary to help improve self-management behavior.

BackgroundSince most internal medicine nurses work with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients daily, their ability to meet the needs of COPD patients is an important issue. Our study aimed to assess COPD-related knowledge in internal medicine nurses.MethodsA descriptive cross-sectional study including 175 participants was conducted to investigate COPD-related knowledge levels among internal medicine nurses in a large top-ranked tertiary hospital in China. The Bristol COPD Knowledge Questionnaire (BCKQ) was used to test COPD-related knowledge levels in the participants.ResultsOverall BCKQ score for all nurses in this study was 35.76 ± 5.49. In comparison with non-respiratory nurses, the overall score among respiratory nurses was significantly higher (39.01 ± 3.95 vs 33.32 ± 5.23, p < 0.001). The mean scores for four topics (epidemiology, breathlessness, oral steroids, and inhaled steroids) were less than 3 among both respiratory and non-respiratory nurses. Subgroup analysis of specialist respiratory wards showed that nurses in the chronic airway disease ward had the highest overall knowledge score (40.47 ± 4.03). Linear regression analysis demonstrated that the overall BCKQ score was significantly related to the population of nurses (β coefficient = 3.016, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.953–5.079, p < 0.01), education (β coefficient = 4.710, 95% CI: 1.979-7.440, p < 0.01) and previous rotation in respiratory wards (β coefficient = 3.871, 95% CI: 1.776-5.967, p < 0.001).ConclusionInternal medicine nurses at this tertiary hospital showed deficits in COPD-related knowledge. Appropriate and systematic education about COPD knowledge and strengthening rotation among different wards are necessary for improving COPD-related knowledge levels among internal medicine nurses.
