Educational component in rehabilitation programs for persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic disorder that involves high-priced treatment and management, 45–75% of which may be associated with exacerbation. Treatment, rehabilitation, adherence to a healthy lifestyle, and following recommendations for self-management require a patient’s high motivation and self -organization. Analysis and the search for effective strategies that could be implemented to enhance the effectiveness of an educational component in rehabilitation for people with COPD have become the purpose of the study.
