NCT01871246 | Terminated

• 1 other identifier: HUM00062912
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 23
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are very sedentary and efforts to establish an active lifestyle are challenging because of periodic acute exacerbations of COPD that interrupt physical activity patterns and contribute to further decline in physical activity. The purpose of this preliminary research is to learn more about the experience of acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) from the perspective of the patient and his/her family and to learn how AECOPDs affect physical activity.

Conditions

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Physical activity during AECOPD

  Subjects will be asked to report how they managed their physical activity during the last AECOPD. Current physical activity will be measured with accelerometry and by the CHAMPS questionnaire.

  week 1

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Sense of coherence

  week 1 and week 15

• Barriers efficacy scale

  week 1 week 15

• Help seeking behavior

  week 1 and week 15

• COPD Stigma Scale

  week 1 and week 15

Other Outcomes (2)

• Social Support for Exercise

  week 1

• COPD symptoms

  week 1
