[School for patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis as a method of medico-social rehabilitation]

The results of investigation of 282 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) gave the basis for design of a cycle of lectures in the school for COB patients. The curricula of the school include positive information about the disease, psychological correction (different for men and women), recommendations on the methods of enhancing social activity. Medico-social rehabilitation of COB patients must be continuous. This becomes possible only if the patient takes an active part in the process of rehabilitation.
