Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Activities of Daily Living, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

In brief

This study is a randomized, controlled experimental trial with a pretest-posttest design, conducted to evaluate the effects of Pecha Kucha-based education on self-efficacy, symptom level, and activities of daily living in individuals diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) receiving noninvasive mechanical ventilation support. The study will include two groups, and intergroup differences will be evaluated: 1. Control group 2. Intervention group Study Hypotheses H1: Pecha Kucha-based education on noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) support provided to individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) increases patients' self-efficacy levels. H2: Pecha Kucha-based education on noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) support provided to individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) reduces patients' symptom levels. H3: Pecha Kucha-based education on noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) support provided to individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) improves patients' activities of daily living.
