July 12, 2022 updated by: Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital

The Relations of Resilience to Self-management Behaviors Among Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

This study conducted an assessment of the influencing factors and correlations that affect self-management behaviors and resilience in the COPD population.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A total of 100 participants with COPD from a medical center in Northern Taiwan were recruited from February 2020 to January 2021 in this cross-sectional study. Each subject completed self-reported questionnaires through face-to-face interviews, including 20-item COPD Self-Management Scale (CSMS-20) and a 25-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-25). A multiple linear regression model was used to examine the relationship between the levels of self-management behavior and resilience, controlling for sociodemographic and clinical factors.

Study Population

The age ranged from 39-90 years old for all the population. The proportions of BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, 18.5-24.9 kg/m2, and ≥ 24.9 kg/m2 were 8%, 58%, and 34%, respectively. Overall, only 14% of the COPD subjects were educated with a university degree or higher, which was associated with higher self-management scores compared to those educated with below university degree. Half of the subjects were former smokers.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

The recruited participants have been diagnosed with COPD for at least a month by thoracic physicians based on the guidelines of the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD).

Exclusion Criteria:

Participants who were diagnosed with serious mental disorders, cancer, terminal illness, or end-stage diseases were excluded from this study.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Levels of COPD self-management behavior
Time Frame: 2020-02-01 to 2021-01-30
Each subject completed the self-reported 20-item COPD Self-Management Scale (CSMS-20) questionnaire through face-to-face interviews. The range of scores is from 20 to 100, with a higher score indicating better self-management behaviors.
2020-02-01 to 2021-01-30
Levels of COPD psychological resilience
Time Frame: 2020-02-01 to 2021-01-30
Each subject completed the 25-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-25) questionnaire through face-to-face interviews. The range of scores is from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating better psychological resilience.
