Objectives:
The effect of the mobile health application developed for controlling symptoms of patients with COPD on self-efficacy and chronic disease management was evaluated in the study.
Methods:
After the development of mCOPD (mKOAH in Turkish) the data of patients who met the inclusion criteria were collected face-to-face and the last test was collected with remote telehealth applications. In the collection of data; Patient Data Form, COPD Assessment Test (CAT), Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC), COPD Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES), Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC), Satisfaction Survey and mCOPD mobile application were used.
Results:
There was no significant difference between the pretest symptom values (mMRC, CAT), CSES and PACIC scores of the trial and control group patients (p > 0.05). mCOPD application 3 months after significant improvement was found in the symptoms, CSES, PACIC scores of the trial group patients compared to the control group patients (p < 0.05). The trial group had decreased health care usage compared to control group patients (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
mCOPD (mKOAH in Turkish) improved the control of the symptoms, increased self-efficacy and chronic disease management in COPD patients and reduced health care use.
