Brief Summary

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

Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) experience a progressive deterioration in their quality of life. Task-specific training is a type of approach focused on chronic patients that allows the acquisition of new skills or improvement of lost skills. The overall objective of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a task-specific training program during hospitalization of patients with acute exacerbation of COPD. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted in patients hospitalized for COPD. Participants after signing informed consent will be randomized between the control group (standard treatment) and the intervention group (task-specific training program in addition to standard treatment). The task-specific training program is a multidisciplinary program divided into three blocks where specific tasks will be performed on symptom education, education of activities of daily living and improvement of physical capacity with the aim of reinforcing skills necessary for the self-management of COPD patients in the short, medium and long term.

Task-specific training

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Task-specific training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants in the intervention group will receive the treatment established for the control group and nursing care based on task-specific training. The intervention was designed with the aim of improving inhaler management in COPD patients. The content of the tasks will be adapted to the different types of devices present in the patient's therapeutic regimen, mainly pressurized cartridge and dry powder devices.

In order to carry out the intervention, several tasks related to education, assessment and/or training will be established with the aim of improving the ability to use the prescribed inhalers. The tasks have been classified into 3 blocks: technique execution, device cleaning and medication administration.

Usual care

Intervention Type OTHER

All patients will receive standard treatment during their hospital stay (medical and pharmacological care). This treatment will include steroids, antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and oxygen therapy. In addition, during hospitalization they may receive diuretics, anticoagulants and cardiovascular treatments if necessary.
