Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Understanding your COPD questionaire

  The "Understanding your COPD" questionnaire will be used to assess knowledge, understanding and self-efficacy (pre- and post- pulmonary rehabilitation) and satisfaction with the education sessions (post- pulmonary rehabilitation only). This questionnaire is a self administered questionnaire which takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. It has been developed and assessed for reliability and responsiveness by our research team (Earley, O'Neill et al. 2008).

Other: LWWCOPD for Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Interventions

LWWCOPD for Pulmonary Rehabilitation OTHER

As part of clinical care participants will attend a 6 week pulmonary rehabilitation programme consisting of supervised exercise and education sessions. The exercise component will be consistent with the usual pulmonary rehabilitation programme delivered at that site (BTS 2001, NICE 2004). The education sessions will be delivered using the revised LWWCOPD programme (1/week, approx. 30-45min). All health professionals will be provided with the health professionals' manual and supplementary posters for their respective education session. All participants will be provided with the revised LWWCOPD information booklet and an action plan for recognising and managing exacerbations.
