COPD Clinical Trial

Official title: The Effect On Self-Care and Self-Efficacy of Inhaler Training in COPD

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of planned inhaler medication training on self-care agency and self-efficacy level.

Clinical Trial Description

Pulmonary diseases are a major source of mortality and morbidity globally. The major symptom of COPD is dyspnea. Since dyspnea leads to activity limitation and inadequate self-care skills among individuals, it is often associated with major psychological comorbidity, social isolation and poor perceived quality of life. COPD patients with high self-efficacy are high enough to level of treatment adherence. On the other hand, the most preferred treatment method for the management and mitigation of COPD symptoms is by the use of inhaler medication. However, incorrect use of the inhaler would lead to failure in the control of COPD patients. Also, it fails to provide COPD patients with self-care agency and self-efficacy levels. In COPD, planned inhaler medication training has been shown in many studies to reduce dyspnoea, increase self-care and self-efficacy levels. Therefore, planned inhaler medication training increases quality of life in COPD patients. ;
