Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Does the training given in COPD affect the level of fatigue?
2. Do the education given and text messages sent regarding COPD affect the level of fatigue?
In this study, patients were given informative education about COPD and ways to cope with fatigue were explained. Then, in order to increase the permanence of the training, motivational messages and short briefings were continued for 8 weeks.2 messages were sent per week. Three groups were created to reveal the effectiveness of the trainings and messages.
Group 1 was trained and messages were sent for 8 weeks. Group 2 was trained and no message was sent. Group 3 is the control group. No training has been provided other than routine maintenance.
The initial information of all groups was taken again at the end of the 8th week.
Main outcomes:
* Dyspnea severity,
* COPD general conditions and
* Fatigue level. The results obtained will be interpreted by comparing between 3 groups.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Training and Message Group
Patients in this group were given training for 3 consecutive days during their stay in the hospital.
Day 1: general information about the disease, medication use Day 2: Physiology of fatigue, factors causing fatigue, and the relationship between COPD and fatigue.
Day 3 Strategies to cope with fatigue (Breathing exercises, good thinking, etc.)
Patients were messaged twice a week after they were discharged. Message sent for 8 weeks. Short, motivating and reminder messages were used. For example;
* When I can control my shortness of breath, my fatigue level decreases significantly.
* Excessive thinking and stress lead to more fatigue. That's why I stay away from negative thoughts.
At the baseline and 8th weeks, the patients were interviewed again and their dyspnea and fatigue levels were measured again.
