- Brief Summary
Health literacy is important for controlling disease progression and living a healthy life with illness. High health literacy is associated with higher cognitive performance and lower health-related quality of life. Physical, psychological, and social impairments are seen in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Studies investigating the relationship between health literacy and functional capacity, quality of life, physical activity, cognitive function, health-related behavior, and activities of daily living in individuals with COPD are limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare individuals with COPD with healthy individuals in terms of health literacy, functional capacity, quality of life, physical activity, cognitive function, health-related behavior, and activities of daily living and to investigate the relationship between health literacy and functional capacity, quality of life, physical activity, cognitive function, health-related behavior, and activities of daily living in individuals with COPD.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Cognitive function 1st day Montreal Cognitive Assessment will be used to evaluate cognitive function. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores range between 0 and 30. A score of 26 or over is considered to be normal.
Functional capacity 1st day Functional capacity assessment using self-paced 6-minute walk test.
Health literacy 1st day The Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine questionnaires will be performed. A score of 59 or less is defined as indicating low health literacy and a score of 60 or more indicates adequate health literacy.
Functional exercise capacity 1st day One-minute sit to stand test will be performed. The number of repetitions will be recorded.
Health-related behavior 1st day Health-related Behavior Scale II will be performed to assess health-related behavior. The Health-related Behavior Scale II measures various health-related behaviors and is designed to assess the frequency or extent of engagement in these behaviors. Higher scores of the scale indicate more frequent or healthier behaviors, depending on the specific behavior being measured.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Assessment of quality of life 1st day Short Form-36 will be applied for assessing quality of life. Higher scores indicate better health status.
Activities of daily living 1st day Activities of daily living will be evaluated using Leicester Cough Questionnaire. Each question is scored on a scale from 1 (maximum impact) to 7 (minimal impact). An average score is calculated for each domain (physical, psychological, and social), resulting in scores ranging from 1 to 7 per domain, and a total score between 3 and 21. A higher score indicates less impact.
Forced expiratory volume in one second 1st day Pulmonary function test using a spirometer will be performed. Forced expiratory volume in one second will be recorded.
forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity ratio 1st day Pulmonary function test using a spirometer will be performed. Forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity ratio will be recorded.
Peak expiratory flow 1st day Pulmonary function test using a spirometer will be performed. Peak expiratory flow will be recorded.
Forced vital capacity 1st day Pulmonary function test using a spirometer will be performed. Forced vital capacity will be recorded.
Forced mid-expiratory flow (FEF25-75) 1st day Pulmonary function test using a spirometer will be performed. Forced mid-expiratory flow (FEF25-75) will be recorded.
Physical activity level 1st day Physical activity will be evaluated with International Physical Activity Questionnaire questionnaire. The questionnaire assesses physical activity across different domains, including leisure time, domestic and gardening activities, work-related activities, and transport-related activities. Scores are calculated based on the duration (minutes) and frequency (days) of these activities over the past seven days. Higher scores on the IPAQ indicate a higher level of physical activity.
