Effectiveness of m-Learning in Enhancing Knowledge Retention for Nurses’ Lifelong Learning: Quasi-Experimental Study

Effectiveness of m-Learning in Enhancing Knowledge Retention for Nurses’ Lifelong Learning: Quasi-Experimental Study

Moreover, MOOCs can contribute to developing nurses’ skills, specifically in training for self-management of noncommunicable chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). MOOCs are based on the definition of various concepts such as e-learning, mass communication, knowledge sharing, and openness [17]. MOOCs comprise quality content and aim at a large target audience, overcoming many of the in-class barriers [9].

In Vitro Characterization of the Immune Response to an Epitope Ensemble Vaccine Against Rhinovirus in Pediatric Asthma and Adults With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Protocol for an Observational and Exploratory Study

In Vitro Characterization of the Immune Response to an Epitope Ensemble Vaccine Against Rhinovirus in Pediatric Asthma and Adults With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Protocol for an Observational and Exploratory Study

In addition, HRVs are implicated in the development of lower respiratory tract diseases, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and bronchiolitis [1], as well as in the exacerbation of asthma [3] and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [4]. The susceptibility to severe HRV infections and reinfections is influenced by a range of environmental and genetic factors, including impaired interferon responses and pre-existing conditions namely asthma and COPD [5].

Evaluation of a Novel eHealth Tool for Pulmonary Rehabilitation in People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Pilot and Feasibility Trial

Evaluation of a Novel eHealth Tool for Pulmonary Rehabilitation in People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Pilot and Feasibility Trial

This was emphasized in the study by Cox and Holland [27] who concluded that one size does not fit all, and more research is needed on different models of telerehabilitation in people with COPD to reach evidence-based consensus and increase possibilities for individualization [16,28]. To promote health, provide individualized treatment, and increase access to evidence-based treatment for people with COPD in Sweden, we developed an e Health tool for PR, Me&COPD (Swedish: Min KOL).

Patients’ and Health Care Professionals’ Perspectives on Remote Patient Monitoring in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation Management: Initiating Cocreation

Patients’ and Health Care Professionals’ Perspectives on Remote Patient Monitoring in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation Management: Initiating Cocreation

This study aimed to thoroughly explore perspectives on COPD care processes, exacerbation management, and RPM in the Netherlands through following 3 objectives: (1) identify stakeholders involved in COPD exacerbation care, (2) understand existing COPD care with an explicit focus on exacerbations, and (3) explore stakeholder experiences and expectations regarding RPM in COPD care.

Effect of Gamification on Improved Adherence to Inhaled Medications in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial

Effect of Gamification on Improved Adherence to Inhaled Medications in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial

Airway obstruction or stenosis, cough, dyspnea, and poor respiratory coordination make it difficult for patients with COPD to use inhalers properly [10]. A systematic evaluation of 144 inhaler technique observation reports indicates that only 31% (95% CI 28%-35%) of patients with COPD demonstrated the best inhaler technique in the past 4 decades [11].

A Smartphone App Self-Management Program for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial of Clinical Outcomes

A Smartphone App Self-Management Program for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial of Clinical Outcomes

COPD exacerbations are defined as acute events described by a worsening of respiratory symptoms that are beyond normal day-to-day variations [1,2]. COPD exacerbations are the most frequent presentation in the hospital setting, both nationally and internationally. This accounts for a substantial economic burden [2,3]; for instance, within the European Union, COPD accounts for 56% of the overall respiratory costs annually [4].

The State of the Art of eHealth Self-Management Interventions for People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Scoping Review

The State of the Art of eHealth Self-Management Interventions for People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Scoping Review

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common disabling lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms that cause persistent, mostly progressive airflow limitations [1]. It is one of the major issues of public health, and its prevalence, mortality, and morbidity are increasing [1-3]. COPD was listed as the third leading cause of death worldwide in 2019 [4], and it is estimated that by 2040, deaths from COPD will rise to 4.4 million per year [5].

Activity Trackers in Physical Therapy for People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in the Netherlands: Cross-Sectional Study on Current Use and Implementation Determinants

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnea, cough, sputum production, and/or exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (bronchitis and bronchiolitis) and/or alveoli (emphysema) that cause persistent, often progressive, airflow obstruction [1,2]. In the Netherlands, 545,900 people experienced COPD in 2022.

Prevalence and Economic Impact of Acute Respiratory Failure in the Prehospital Emergency Medical Service of the Madrid Community: Retrospective Cohort Study

Prevalence and Economic Impact of Acute Respiratory Failure in the Prehospital Emergency Medical Service of the Madrid Community: Retrospective Cohort Study

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a public health epidemic. The current state of the art displays a high prevalence and high burden [1]. COPD is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 3.5 million deaths in 2021, approximately 5% of all global deaths [2].

Mobile App for Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases During Home-Based Exercise Care: Usability Study

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major subset of chronic pulmonary diseases, with nearly 36% of patients developing comorbidities, such as hypertension and cardiovascular diseases [7]. Globally, 1 person succumbs to COPD every 10 seconds; in Taiwan, over 5000 deaths are attributed to COPD annually [8]. Severe cases of COPD may lead to systemic manifestations, emphasizing the urgency of interventions [9,10].
