Background and Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major public health problem and the rising worldwide increase in morbidity and mortality. This research aimed to investigate the effects of self-management program on knowledge in order to improve self-management for their condition and patient’s with COPD health status.
Methods: This study was performed using quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest design. Samples of twenty patients’ with COPD were invited to participate by purposive sampling technique. The knowledge and health status data were collected by means of a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics using frequency, percentage and paired t-test is used to compare two population means score.
Results: After the self-management program implementation, a patient has found that the difference between the mean scores of knowledge in order to improve self-management for their condition and patient’s with COPD health status had a significantly higher than those before the program implementation (Mean 3.00, S.D. 0.32 vs Mean 5.65, S.D. 0.67; p < 0.001) and (Mean 20.8,3 S.D. 3.41 vs Mean 19.33, S.D. 3.73; p < 0.001) respectively.
Conclusions: Health personnel can use this program to deploy in the care of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Patients to be able to improve their knowledge to use in self-management for their condition and patient’s with COPD health status.
