Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In recent years, mobile technologies have been used in the use of self-management applications. Mobile technologies have the opportunity to provide information exchange between the patient and the healthcare professional, to provide patient-specific personalized training, to provide reminders, warnings reinforcements, to increase motivation and behavior change, Reducing the impact of exacerbations through early recognition of symptoms and prompt treatment of individuals with COPD has been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of hospitalization, improving health-related quality of life, and controlling the burden of COPD.In addition, due to the COVID-19 pandemic experienced all around the world, telehealth and mobile technologies were used in the delivery of health services in many countries.

Importance of Research

Considering the covid-19 pandemic seen all over the world and in our country aim to develop a mobile application, which is an integrated care model that allows individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to control their symptoms that seriously affect their quality of life.

Method

Data Collection Tools

1. Patient Diagnosis Form: The "Patient Diagnosis Form", prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, consists of two parts.

Section 1: Age, place of residence, gender, educational status, occupation, economic status, health insurance, living with whom, smoking and alcohol consumption status, cigarette pack years, COPD information source, etc. for the patient. will consist of questions.

Section 2: COPD diagnosis, presence of other diseases, number of symptoms and attacks, medication used, etc. questions were included
2. COPD Self-Efficacy Scale) (CSES):The scale consists of 34 items that determine the degree of self-confidence of COPD patients to manage or avoid breathing difficulties during certain activities, and five sub-dimensions: negative impact, emotional state, physical effort, weather/environment influence, and behavioral risk factors.
3. Chronic Disease Care Assessment Scale-Patient Form:The Likert-type and 20-item scale consists of five sub-dimensions: patient participation, decision making, goal setting, problem solving, and monitoring/coordination
4. COPD Assessment Test (CAT):It is a scale consisting of 8 parameters in which the effects of the disease on daily life and health status are determined.
5. Modifiye Medical Research Council (mMRC)/ Dyspnea Scale:It was used to compare the severity of dyspnea during activity in people with and without lung disease.
6. Satisfaction Form: It is a form scored from 1 to 5 by the researcher in order to determine how satisfied the experimental group is with the content of the application at the end of the study.
7. mCOPD mobile app:The conceptual and theoretical framework of the mobile application designed for individuals with COPD has been developed based on the chronic care model.Inside the mKOAH mobile application; There are interfaces under the headings of education, management, evaluation, vital parameters, communication, about us, resources.

experimental group

In the pre-test phase (first interview) - Patient Diagnosis Form, COPD Self-efficacy Scale, Chronic Disease Care Assessment Scale-Patient Form, COPD Assessment Test (CAT), Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale average 15-20 min. will be implemented.

After the pre-test, the mCOPD mobile application will be installed on the phones of the patients and it will be checked whether the mobile application is working. mobile application content will be explained. In addition, a pulse oximeter device will be given to the patients by the researcher to record their pulse and saturation values and its use will be explained.

In the final test phase (final interview); The COPD Self-Efficacy Scale, the Chronic Disease Care Assessment Scale-Patient Form, the COPD Assessment Test (CAT), the Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale and the Satisfaction Questionnaire will be applied to determine the degree of satisfaction
