Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Health literacy refers to personal and relational factors affecting a person's ability to acquire, understand and use information about health and health services. In a need assessment study it was found that, the health services need to focus on health literacy factors in the follow up of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Thus, this project evaluate the effect a of a health literacy partnership health promotion intervention (hospital, municipalities, university) after discharge from hospital with the use of motivational interviewing and tailored follow-ups on re-admission, health literacy, self-management quality of life and cost in people with COPD compared with usual care.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Health literacy intervention group

Health literacy intervention group will receive self-management help using a motivating interviewing technique delivered by nurses trained on motivating interviewing technique and COPD.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Health literacy intervention group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In the health literacy intervention group all patients will receive self-management help using a motivating interviewing (MI) technique delivered by two MI and COPD trained nurses once a week for eight weeks after hospitalization. Subsequently, the contact between the patients and the nurses will be by follow up motivational telephone calls once a month or more if needed for four months (i.a a total of six months intervention period).

Usual care group

Usual care group will receive usual follow up

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
