    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Health Psychology

    Background:

    • Shortness of breath is a primary symptom impacting quality of life for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
    • Self-efficacy theory provides a framework for understanding patient confidence in managing health conditions.

    Observation:

    • A case study examined a patient with COPD (Mr. M.) undergoing a pulmonary education program.
    • The COPD Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) measured Mr. M.'s confidence in managing breathing difficulties before and after the program.

    Findings:

    • Mr. M. demonstrated improved scores on the CSES across most measured areas post-program.
    • The educational intervention positively influenced the patient's self-confidence in handling respiratory challenges.

    Implications:
