Emotional-distress-based Integrated Care Programme in Patients With an Acute Exacerbation of COPD
Sponsor: University of Zurich
Summary
The investigators have developed a new counseling service that focuses on the emotional distress experienced by people living with COPD. The service has been specially developed for patients who have experienced a deterioration in their lung condition (known as an acute exacerbation of COPD). The new program is led by an APN team. Other professionals are involved in the program, such as medical staff and physiotherapists. The new counseling service lasts three months. Patients will receive ten counseling sessions with a specialized nurse. The overall objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of the newly developed emotional-distress-based integrated care programme.
