Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a major individual and public health
problem. It is the third leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the worldwide
according to a study published by World Health Organization, and is ranked eleventh
leading cause of death in Taiwan. These data may be underestimated. Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease is not a fully irreversible disease. Effective
management should be aimed at supportive care and self-management.
The research project will be constructed in 2 years. PRECEDE-PROCEED model will
guide research process. The purpose of this study is aimed to understand the needs
and related factors of self-management about COPD patients, and develop the
self-management education program. Qualitative study is used in first year. The
second year, the purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of the self-management

to compare the differences of outcome variables between experimental and control
groups.
