Article Synopsis
- Adherence to COPD treatment significantly affects patient health outcomes, with only 36.9% of outpatients consistently following prescribed treatments like inhaled medications and breathing exercises.
- The study found that non-adherent patients experienced greater disease severity, indicating a 0.3-fold increase in complications compared to those who adhered to their treatment plans.
- To improve adherence, the study recommends that home care clinicians develop a post-discharge program aimed at educating patients on the importance of sticking to their treatment and promoting supportive behaviors.
The mortality rate due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has increased annually, and non-adherence to treatment is one reason for this rise. Developing intervention programs to enhance treatment adherence for people with COPD is essential. The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to determine the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of such a program.
