Article Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic disease whose development is irreversible, which leads to more than six million deaths each year. There is no treatment confirmed effective for the improvement of impaired lung function, but the combination of drug therapy with non-drug therapy such as pulmonary rehabilitation training has demonstrated a great potential in reducing the occurrence of complications and delaying the progression of COPD. Self-efficacy is the core of cognitive theory, which is crucial for chronic disease management. It has been proposed as an important component of disease management to help people develop skills to manage diseases more effectively. This study reviewed the development of self-efficacy and its application in patients with COPD, with the purpose of providing a better clinical reference for the treatments of COPD.
