Background summary
Patients with severe COPD frequently get hospitalized because of too late
recognition of severe symptoms, lack of coordinated and integrated care and few
preventive activities aimed at health and social problems. Implementation of
focused coaching activities may take away these flaws and thereby reduce
re-hospitalizations.
Study objective
This study aims to investigate the process and outcome of the implementation of
a coaching intervention in COPD care in the Friesland province.
Study design
Before-and-after intervention study.
Intervention
The intervention group will receive coaching aimed at improving self-management
and coordination of care.
Study burden and risks
Patients will receive 7 home visits and 3 phone calls by the coach. During the
coaching sessions patients will receive: feedback on health status, coaching on
disease-management, training on medication use and multiple questionnaires will
be filled in. In case of treatment by a physiotherapist, a six minutes walking
test will be conducted twice.
