Brief Summary

This study evaluates the effects of KOL-webben (the COPD web), an interactive web-based system directed towards two target groups; people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and health professionals in primary care. KOL-webben include tools that improve health literacy with a specific focus on 1) increased physical activity and 2) use of appropriate self-management strategies. Moreover, KOL-webben include knowledge and tools directed towards staff in the primary care aimed to implement provision of evidence based health promotion interventions.The feasibility and effects of KOL-webben will be evaluated.

Study Arms (2)

KOLwebben

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the experimental group will be introduced to KOL-webben during their ordinary visits to the primary care center. All patients will receive a pedometer

Behavioral: KOLwebben

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Other than receiving a pedometer the patients in the control group will not receive any intervention.

Interventions

KOLwebben BEHAVIORAL

KOL-webben will be introduced to all people with COPD during their ordinary visits to the primary care center during a 3 months period. The introduction to KOL-webben will be tailored to each person's needs and include 1) registration of the patient at KOL-webben 2) showing and discussing specific content on KOL-webben (e.g. movies with exercises if the person needs exercise training) chosen to meet the needs of the individual 3) giving a card (A5 format) with address to KOL-webben, user information and references to chosen content on KOL-webben. All patients will also receive a pedometer.
