“…The following tools were used to evaluate symptoms: the Pulmonary Functional Status and Dyspnoea Questionnaire-modified version (PFSDQ-M) [13], Bronchitis Emphysema Symptom Checklist (BESC) [14], Daily Symptom Diary (DSD), and Final Symptom Assessment (FSA). The PFSDQ-M is a 40-item, self-completion questionnaire evaluating activity levels and symptoms of dyspnoea and fatigue.…”

Memory for symptoms in COPD patients: how accurate are their reports?

The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy of self-reports of symptom intensity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and factors that might influence recall of that intensity.Thirty COPD (forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) 36¡17% predicted) subjects recorded their dyspnoea and fatigue intensity scores on a 0-10 scale for 14 consecutive days. On the fourteenth day, subjects recalled their average, greatest and least symptom intensity for the previous 14 days. General cognitive function, spirometry, and oxygenation were also measured.No significant differences were found between actual and recalled scores for dyspnoea or fatigue. General cognitive function, measured by the Mini Mental State Exam, correlated with the greatest and least dyspnoea and average fatigue difference scores (recall-actual) and contributed to the variance in the average and least dyspnoea recalled scores. The greatest contributor to the variance in the recall scores of both symptoms was the symptom intensity level on the day of recall.These results highlight the importance of current levels of symptom intensity and cognitive function when appraising symptoms in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.

“…Connaissant le niveau d'anxiété vécu par les personnes atteintes de MPOC (Beck et al 1988 ;Kinsman et al, 1983 ;Dudley et al, 1980 ;Rabinowitz et Florian, 1992), il est important de souligner que même une variation que l'on pourrait qualifier de non significative peut améliorer la qualité de vie de ces personnes. Pour Lazarus et Folkman (1984), la réaction au stress est d'autant plus importante pour les personnes atteintes de MPOC qu'elle affecte le fonctionnement de la vie quotidienne de celles-ci.…”

L’objectif de cette recherche est d’aider la personne atteinte d’une maladie pulmonaire obstructive chronique à fonctionner de façon optimale à l’intérieur des limites imposées par sa maladie. Pour y arriver, nous avons formé des groupes de soutien et d’éducation en vue d’améliorer la qualité de vie des participants. Cet article décrit d’abord l’intervention telle que réalisée et présente les résultats d’analyses qui évaluent les changements de comportements des participants au groupe. Ces changements vont pour la plupart dans le sens d’une amélioration de leur qualité de vie. Les analyses des résultats obtenus auprès des participants tendent aussi à démontrer que l’intervention de groupe favorise le développement de moyens permettant d’apprendre à mieux vivre avec la MPOC et ses effets. Les plus importants apprentissages des participants au groupe sont l’amorce d’une prise de conscience à l’égard de la maladie et de ses impacts et une meilleure disposition à l’action.The objective of this research is to help people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to operate optimally within the limitations imposed by the disease. In order to get there, support and education groups were created with the objective of improving their quality of life. This paper first describes how the intervention was realized and presents as well the results of the analysis assessing the behavior changes of the participants. For most, the changes contributed to improving their quality of life. The analyses of the results obtained from the group tend to demonstrate that the group intervention encourages the participants to develop ways to improve their quality of life given the disease and its effects. The key benefits for the participants were the start of improved consciousness towards the disease and its impacts and a better disposition to take action

“…Daytime hypoxaemia is independently associated with impaired sleep efficiency [49]. Kinsman et al (1983) stated that disordered sleep is the third main complaint after dyspneoa and fatigue in patients with COPD and approximately half of the patients experience sleep disruption "always" or "generally always" [50].
