Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study, planned in a randomized, pre-test, post-test, control group and single-blind research design, is to examine the effect of empowerment training given to inpatients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the patients' self-efficacy, health locus of control and perception of nursing care quality. The population of the research will consist of patients (N=6000) diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are receiving inpatient treatment in any two chest diseases services of a training and research hospital (EAH) that provides tertiary healthcare services on the European side of Istanbul. Two pulmonology services will be selected by lottery among a total of 9 pulmonology services. Among two chest diseases services, patients will be randomly assigned, one in the experimental group and the other in the control group. Patients' data will be collected with the Introductory Information Form, COPD Information Survey, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale Form A and Care Behavior Scale-24. The data of the study will be analyzed using descriptive tests, intergroup comparison tests and correlation analysis.

Key Words: Patient, empowerment education, self-efficacy, health locus of control, nursing care quality.

Detailed Description

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

The aim of the study, planned in a randomized, pre-test, post-test, control group and single-blind research design, is to examine the effect of empowerment training given to inpatients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the patients' self-efficacy, health locus of control and perception of nursing care quality. In line with the purpose of the research, the hypotheses were determined as follows:

H1-0: Strength training has no effect on patients' self-efficacy. H1-1: Empowerment training has an effect on patients' self-efficacy. H2-0: Strength training has no effect on patients' health locus of control. H2-1: Strength training has an effect on patients' health locus of control. H3-0: Empowerment education has no effect on patients' perception of nursing care quality.

H3-1: Empowerment education has an effect on patients' perception of nursing care quality.

The population of the research will consist of patients (N=6000) diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are receiving inpatient treatment in any two chest diseases services of a training and research hospital (EAH) that provides tertiary healthcare services on the European side of Istanbul. Two pulmonology services will be selected by lottery among a total of 9 pulmonology services. Among two chest diseases services, patients will be randomly assigned, one in the experimental group and the other in the control group. The determination of the experimental and control groups will be carried out in a single blind manner and in a computer environment by an external expert. In the research, provided that the number of patients in the experimental and control groups is equal, the patients will be numbered in the order of admission to the ward (taking into account first the date and then the time) until 182 patients are reached and they will be assigned to the experimental and control groups in a random manner. Preliminary implementation of the study will be carried out before patients are assigned to the experimental and control groups. Permission will be obtained for the preliminary application of the research. 3 COPD patients hospitalized in the chest diseases services of EAH and who agree to participate in the preliminary application will be asked to answer the questions in the data collection tools and read the patient empowerment training brochure. Patients' data will be collected with the Introductory Information Form, COPD Information Survey, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale Form A and Care Behavior Scale-24. The data of the study will be analyzed using descriptive tests, intergroup comparison tests and correlation analysis.

Participants Outcome Assessors
The data of the research will be collected by a statistics expert who has no knowledge of the research process. Patients will not know which group they are in.

Study Groups

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

Experimental group

Patients in the experimental group will be given patient empowerment training as an intervention. The aim of the training is to ensure that patients have the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to manage the care and treatment processes both during their hospitalization and in their daily lives after discharge.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Patient empowerment education

Intervention Type OTHER

After the pre-test is administered to the patients in the experimental group, patient empowerment training (intervention) will be given. Patients will be divided into groups of 15 people and the training will be given in a total of 6 sessions, all in one session. The "Patient Empowerment Handbook" prepared by the researchers will be used during the training. The training was planned to last 1 hour (45 minutes of theoretical training, 15 minutes of question and answer). The training was planned to be carried out in an interactive manner (question and answer method, sharing of patient experiences, group discussion). The "Patient Empowerment Handbook" will be delivered to patients after the training for them to read whenever they want. How to use the manual will be explained to patients.

Control group

After the pre-test data is collected from the control group by face-to-face interview method, no intervention will be made to the control group. At the end of the second month, the same scales will be re-administered over the phone as post-test data.
