This prospective study aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of organized educational intervention.Patients and methods: The study participants included patients diagnosed with COPD and receiving inhaler treatment. In this prospective study, the patients made three sequential visits to the hospital (baseline, 1 month, 3 months). On their first and second visits, patients received systematic education about COPD. On their first and third visits, each patient was evaluated using a COPD Assessment Test, COPD Knowledge Questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale.Results: Fifty-five participants were enrolled in the study. The mean COPD knowledge score before and after education was 12.51±3.19 and 17.89±1.37, respectively, indicating a significant increase in the score post-education (P<0.001). The measure of patients’ inhaler technique also significantly improved after education (5.40±1.50 vs 6.83±0.37 P=0.01). The rate of depression and anxiety after education decreased by 10.9% and 12.7%, respectively (P<0.001). In subgroup analysis, we compared the groups whose knowledge score increased by more than 5 points (Group B) and those whose score did not improve (Group A). In Group B, the mean CAT score significantly improved (2.61±5.88 vs −2.41±7.48, P=0.01), and the duration of their COPD diagnosis before enrollment was significantly shorter (2.72±2.43 vs 5.22±5.11 years, P=0.038) compared to those in Group A.Conclusion: An organized educational program resulted in improved disease-specific knowledge. Disease-specific education is an important part of the treatment of COPD that affects the quality of life and emotional status of patients. Early education after COPD diagnosis can be beneficial.Keywords: anxiety, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, depression, education, quality of lifehttps://www.dovepress.com/comprehensive-effects-of-organized-education-for-patients-with-chronic-peer-reviewed-article-COPDanxietychronic obstructive pulmonary diseasedepressioneducationquality of life |
