O knihe
COPD patients have reported dissatisfaction with the self-management education they are provided. This mixed methods pilot study assessed the self-management learning needs of COPD patients treated at a Certified Federal Rural Health Clinic through conducting focus group interviews to inform the development a targeted self-management education DVD. The effectiveness of 3 distinct educational treatments (DVD vs. Pamphlet vs. DVD + Pamphlet) was evaluated by comparing outcomes related to informational needs, self-management self-efficacy, and generic/lung-specific HRQoL in a randomly-assigned, multiple-group pretest-posttest design with a control group. Participants receiving a DVD reported statistically significantly higher levels of lung-specific physical functioning as compared to those in the Pamphlet group. Additionally, the DVD group revealed clinically significant improvements on the physical (+19.01) and emotional (+10.74) functioning dimensions of lung-specific HRQoL; whereas, no such improvement occurred within the Pamphlet and control groups.
