Abstract

           This descriptive study aimed to examine the relationship between illness perception and pulmonary rehabilitation behaviors in persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The sample consisted of 55 patients who were diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and sought treatment of the Respiratory Clinic at the Outpatient Department, a tertiary hospital in Bangkok. The data were collected using 4 questionnaires: 1) Personal Information, 2) Brief Illness Perception, 3) Perceived Benefits, Support, Barriers about Pulmonary Rehabilitation Behaviors, and 4) Pulmonary Rehabilitation Behaviors. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient.

            Results revealed that most of the participants perceived that pulmonary rehabilitation was a part of medical treatment and was benefit for their health. The information and emotional support from health care providers promoted them to practice pulmonary rehabilitation. The correlational analysis showed that participants' belief about their illness control ability with pulmonary rehabilitation, and the understanding about their illness (COPD) were significantly correlated with the pulmonary rehabilitation behaviors (r = .34, p < .05; r = .34, p < .05, respectively).

            This study suggested that healthcare team should promote interventions to increase patient pulmonary rehabilitation capability. In addition, nurses should provide information about illness to enhance pulmonary rehabilitation behaviors in persons with COPD constantly.
