Using a photovoice methodology to explore the impacts of living with COPD on quality of life
COPD's impact extends beyond physical symptoms, encompassing psychological and social dimensions. Photovoice offered a novel lens to explore these complexities highlighting the importance of addressing self-criticism, shame, emotional responses and interactions with others in patient care. Interventions should consider both individual coping strategies and systemic factors influencing daily life.
