“…Research on hope in COPD is fairly limited and controversial (Stenzel, Vaske, Kuhl, Kenn, & Rief, 2015). Research by Robinson, Lucas, Van den Dolder, and Halcomb (2017) found that COPD patients did express some kind of hope about the future, although they also reported feelings of grief and loss related to their COPD.…”

For healthcare professionals, it is important to take into account the potential feelings of loss, hopelessness and uncertainty that people can experience following an acute exacerbation of their chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and ensure that psychological care is available as physical recovery takes place. Such care to include good discharge planning, giving patients time to express concerns and referral to counselling services if appropriate.

“…We were also interested in knowing whether variables such as gender, depression or fear of death affect performance. Depression is often associated with physical illness (Ruttley & Reid, 2006) and with fear of death (Stenzel, Vaske, Kühl, Kenn, & Rief, 2015), and gender differences in diseases and health care (e.g., Denton, Prus, & Walters, 2004) can modulate memory and life-support preferences.…”

We studied memory of health scenarios for end-of-life support decisions and stability of life support preferences. Psychology students (n = 36, age M = 27.25, SD = 6.21, 64% females) were administered the Life Support Preferences Questionnaire to assess their memory of six medical scenarios with different prognoses, care treatment, and end-of-life support choices. Recall, recognition, confidence and decision stability were assessed immediately and one month later. Correct recall decreased and incorrect recall increased from immediate to long-term recall, F(2, 68) = 74.38, p < .001, η2p = .69. In recall, participants spontaneously gave false information consistent with prior knowledge of illnesses and medical scenarios. Participants who had suffered a disease or serious accident did worse on correct recall, F(1, 34) = 6.59, p = .015, η2p = .16, and had more errors, F(1, 34) = 4.68, p = .038, η2p = .12, than participants who had not. In the recognition test there were no differences between hits and false alarms, showing the difficulty in discriminating between true and false contents. Confidence was greater for hits than for false alarms, F(1, 34) = 10.86, p = .002, η2p = .24, but this subjective measure did not seem to be a good predictor of accuracy because confidence was greater than the mean value for hits (p = .001, d = 1.74) and for false alarms (p = .001, d = 0.96). Long-term memory was quite poor and biased, but life support preferences did not change much.

“…Weiterhin ist nachweisbar, dass Depressionen mit einem höheren Risiko für häufigere Exazerbationen und Krankenhausaufenthalte verbunden sind [43]. Schließlich beeinflussen COPDspezifische Ängste zum einen die wahrgenommenen Einschränkungen durch die Erkrankung [23], zum anderen mediieren jene die Beziehung zwischen psychischen Belastungen und End-of-lifeÄngsten [46].…”

Pneumologische Berufskrankheiten wie Silikose und Asbestose zählen zu den häufigsten Berufskrankheiten in Deutschland und sind progrediente Erkrankungen. Aufgrund von chronischer Atemnot neigen die betroffenen Patienten bei zunehmender Erkrankungsschwere zu Inaktivität mit der Folge einer Dekonditionierung des Herz-Kreislauf-Systems. Die Patienten können im Krankheitsverlauf zusätzlich depressive und ängstliche Symptome entwickeln, sodass sich insgesamt die gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualität reduziert. Deshalb spielt ein nachhaltiges Krankheitsmanagement für diese Patientengruppen eine bedeutende Rolle, in dem sowohl physische als auch psychische und soziale Aspekte beachtet werden sollten.

Prediction of end-of-life fears in COPD – hoping for the best but preparing for the worst

Abstract: Administration and intensity of end-of-life care (especially concerning end-of-life fears) in COPD patients should be based not only on illness severity, but rather on psychological distress and disease-specific anxieties.
