- Conditions
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
- Interventions
- Other: Patient empowerment education
- Registration Number
- NCT06201104
- Lead Sponsor
- Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa (IUC)
- Brief Summary
The aim of the study, planned in a randomized, pre-test, post-test, control group and single-blind research design, is to examine the effect of empowerment training given to inpatients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the patients' self-efficacy, health locus of control and perception of nursing care quality. The population of the research will consist of patients (N=6000) diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are receiving inpatient treatment in any two chest diseases services of a training and research hospital (EAH) that provides tertiary healthcare services on the European side of Istanbul. Two pulmonology services will be selected by lottery among a total of 9 pulmonology services. Among two chest diseases services, patients will be randomly assigned, one in the experimental group and the other in the control group. Patients' data will be collected with the Introductory Information Form, COPD Information Survey, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale Form A and Care Behavior Scale-24. The data of the study will be analyzed using descriptive tests, intergroup comparison tests and correlation analysis.
Key Words: Patient, empowerment education, self-efficacy, health locus of control, nursing care quality.
- Detailed Description
The aim of the study, planned in a randomized, pre-test, post-test, control group and single-blind research design, is to examine the effect of empowerment training given to inpatients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the patients' self-efficacy, health locus of control and perception of nursing care quality. In line with the purpose of the research, the hypotheses were determined as follows:
H1-0: Strength training has no effect on patients' self-efficacy. H1-1: Empowerment training has an effect on patients' self-efficacy. H2-0: Strength training has no effect on patients' health locus of control. H2-1: Strength training has an effect on patients' health locus of control. H3-0: Empowerment education has no effect on patients' perception of nursing care quality.
H3-1: Empowerment education has an effect on patients' perception of nursing care quality.
The population of the research will consist of patients (N=6000) diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are receiving inpatient treatment in any two chest diseases services of a training and research hospital (EAH) that provides tertiary healthcare services on the European side of Istanbul. Two pulmonology services will be selected by lottery among a total of 9 pulmonology services. Among two chest diseases services, patients will be randomly assigned, one in the experimental group and the other in the control group. The determination of the experimental and control groups will be carried out in a single blind manner and in a computer environment by an external expert. In the research, provided that the number of patients in the experimental and control groups is equal, the patients will be numbered in the order of admission to the ward (taking into account first the date and then the time) until 182 patients are reached and they will be assigned to the experimental and control groups in a random manner. Preliminary implementation of the study will be carried out before patients are assigned to the experimental and control groups. Permission will be obtained for the preliminary application of the research. 3 COPD patients hospitalized in the chest diseases services of EAH and who agree to participate in the preliminary application will be asked to answer the questions in the data collection tools and read the patient empowerment training brochure. Patients' data will be collected with the Introductory Information Form, COPD Information Survey, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale Form A and Care Behavior Scale-24. The data of the study will be analyzed using descriptive tests, intergroup comparison tests and correlation analysis.
Key Words: Patient, empowerment education, self-efficacy, health locus of control, nursing care quality.
