Predicting poor self-management behaviors in adults with newly diagnosed COPD: based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills model

The risk prediction model based on IMB model and a nomogram including 3 easily available prediction factors (cognitive function, patient activation and depression) on poor self-management behaviors for newly diagnosed COPD patients was established, which showed good discrimination, and calibration. It can be used to screen out high- risk population with poor self-management behaviors for newly diagnosed COPD patients early.
