A digital, self-management behaviour change intervention for people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Cohort study (Preprint)
PM may be a useful treatment to support COPD self-management, especially when barriers prevent people with COPD receiving traditional services such as PR. The quantitative results suggest that PM may be less beneficial when delivered alongside PR. Feedback from participants indicated that they would prefer to receive PM while they were on the waiting list for PR, to support them during this time and alleviate the apprehensions associated with attending PR. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.
