Brief Summary

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

This study investigates the impact of expectations on individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and aims to develop and validate a novel tool to assess these expectations. By understanding the role of expectations, healthcare providers can better tailor interventions and support for COPD patients, ultimately improving their quality of life and treatment outcomes.

Detailed Description

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

This research, carried out at the specialized cardiorespiratory rehabilitation unit of the Don Gnocchi Foundation in Milan, delves into the influence of expectations on individuals living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The primary objective is to craft and validate a fresh assessment tool to gauge these expectations. Moreover, the questionnaire is reintroduced to patients after a month, during which additional data, as detailed in the corresponding section, are gathered.
