Title: Comparing the Effects of an Internet-Based to an Established Dyspnea Self-Management Program on Dyspnea, Exercise Behavior, and Pulmonary Exacerbations in Patients With COPD
Brief Summary: The overall goal of this study is to compare the impact of a new Internet Dyspnea Self-Management Program (eDSMP) with an established face-to-face Dyspnea Self-Management Program (DSMP) in patients with COPD. The primary aim of the study is to test the following two hypotheses: 1. The eDSMP and the DSMP will have comparable improvements in the primary outcomes of shortness of breath (dyspnea) with activities of daily living (ADL), exercise adherence and performance, and pulmonary exacerbations (frequency and duration) at 3 and 6 months. 2. The eDSMP and the DSMP will have comparable improvements in the secondary outcomes of perception of support, self-efficacy for exercise and managing dyspnea, and health resource utilization at 3 and 6 months. This study is a randomized, longitudinal, repeated measures design with measurement times at 0, 3, and 6 months.
