The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an education program and telephone call
follow-up at improving the health related quality of life (HRQL) of patients with chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD).
Method: Experimental, controlled, randomized, single blind study, masked data analysis. Duration of 2
years and 3 months. Patients hospitalised for exacerbation. The effectiveness was evaluated by
calculating the absolute and relative change (%) of the St. George questionnaire scores (total and by
dimensions) before and after the intervention program. Calculation of the effect of the group variable on
the absolute and relative changes of the variables, Multiple Analysis of Variance (MANOVA).
Results: Completed study of 116 patients. Greater effects on their HRQL reported at admission (48.3 SD
20.0 years). Patients in the intervention group improved significantly in their total SGRQ scores (6.83) in
absolute and relative terms and more significantly in their activity dimension (16.05).
Conclusions: The education program was effective at improving global HRQL, especially the activity
dimension, in exacerbated COPD patients.
Practice implications: This research contributes to clarifying the benefits and contents of education
programs for patients with COPD; hospital admission is the suitable moment to contact these patients. [-]
