Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Cognitive function
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 1st day
Functional capacity assessment using self-paced 6-minute walk test.
Health literacy
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 1st day
One-minute sit to stand test will be performed. The number of repetitions will be recorded.
Health-related behavior
Time Frame: 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 Outcomes
- Assessment of quality of life(1st day)
- Activities of daily living(1st day)
- Forced expiratory volume in one second(1st day)
- forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity ratio(1st day)
- Peak expiratory flow(1st day)
- Forced vital capacity(1st day)
- Forced mid-expiratory flow (FEF25-75)(1st day)
- Physical activity level(1st day)
