- Abstract
People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have frequent hospitalizations and emergency department visits, often due to COPD exacerbations which worsen disease status. Recognizing exacerbations is challenging; patients must distinguish between day-to-day COPD symptom variations and exacerbation symptoms. Self-regulation theory (Bandura, 1999) is useful for understanding symptom recognition, interpretation, and response. In this article a qualitative study of self-regulation use by 28 older adults with COPD (Brandt, 2005) is summarized.
