Overview
Brief Summary
This study is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of nurse-led brief intervention (One Shot Nursing intervention), which could be provided at the outpatient settings for patients with COPD, so that their exacerbations could be reduced and their activities of daily living could be improved. This study, if found effective, could lead the way in utilizing nurse-led brief interventions in various other conditions and/or departments. In a busy setting, brief interventions would prove more efficient and compliant among the participants. The study hypothesizes that there will be a change in the level of activities of daily living and the number of acute exacerbations after the administration of one-shot nursing interventions.
