Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease With (Acute) Exacerbation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effectiveness and Feasibility of Delivering an Introductory Education Program to Patients Admitted to Hospital With an Acute Exacerbation of COPD - a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
The purpose of this study is to determine if it is effective and feasible to provide a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) education program to patients admitted with an acute exacerbation of COPD.
Following an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) evidence strongly suggests that all patients should be discharged with an action plan, consisting of identified patient responsibilities for their ongoing care and advice on recognizing and seeking help in the event of future acute exacerbations. Despite these recommendations, structured chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) specific education is rarely offered within acute hospital settings and, in addition, research in this area is limited. This study aims to determine the effectiveness and feasibility of an introductory education program delivered during and shortly after an AECOPD hospitalization. ;
