Background:
Effective management of chronic conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requires adequate knowledge of the disease and its treatment among patients. COPD patients can receive education through various modalities. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of expert-assisted video-based learning (EAV) on the retention of disease-specific knowledge among patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Materials And Methods:
A pre-post study was conducted among 58 participants with COPD at a tertiary care hospital. Phase I included translation and validation of the Bristol COPD Knowledge Questionnaire (BCKQ) into Kannada and the development of a video based on its components. In Phase II, participants' knowledge was assessed before and after the intervention using the BCKQ. EAV was provided, and knowledge retention was evaluated after 48 h post-intervention.
Results:
Majority of participants were male (74.1%) from the rural areas (77.6%), with a mean age of (63.6 ± 7.68), and had an educational status of below 10th (72.4%). The mean baseline knowledge score (pre-intervention) was 33.9 ± 6.35, which significantly improved to 43.5 ± 5.87 post-intervention (P < 0.001).
Conclusion:
EAV is effective in improving disease-specific knowledge among those with COPD. This approach can be incorporated into in-hospital, out-hospital, and healthcare center settings to improve disease-specific knowledge and health-related quality of life among patients with any chronic lung condition.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
