Factors influencing self-management in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: An integrative review

Individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) struggle with effective self-management, contributing to poor health outcomes and costly health care. More research is needed to understand the factors influencing COPD self-management better in order to improve outcomes and reduce health care costs for those living with this prevalent chronic illness. The purpose of this article is to describe factors influencing community-dwelling adults’ COPD self-management. In-depth interviews were conducted with 28 people living with COPD. Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis approach was used to analyze interview data, and it resulted in the identification of themes providing insight into COPD self-management as described by those living with the disease. Specifically, factors impacting engagement in treatment recommendations are described. These findings have implications for informing evidence-based recommendations for self-management support and improving the quality of care provided to those with COPD.

Management Plans

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is being increasingly diagnosed in the UKs on the rise, and is expected to continue to rise due to an ageing population with multiple co-morbidities and exposure to risk factors, such as cigarette smoke, noxious gases and air pollutants. The prevalence of this disease is high is areas of socioeconomic deprivation and among high industrial areas. The use of self-management plans in COPD is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), to enable to patients with this disease to be competent and confident in taking part in managing their own health condition and recognising signs and symptoms of an exacerbation. The aim of this article is to discuss self-management of COPD and the clinical guidance surrounding exacerbation of disease. A follow-up literature review will focus on the effectiveness of self-management plans in COPD.
