Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify related factors of low levels of self‐efficacy in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). A cross‐sectional research design used descriptive statistics, χ2 test, t‐test, and binary logistic regression. Two hundred and forty‐five patients with COPD were recruited from five hospitals in South Korea. The COPD Self‐Efficacy Scale, the Bristol COPD Knowledge Questionnaire, Personal Resource Questionnaire 2000, BODE index, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short version were utilized to assess self‐efficacy, disease‐related knowledge, social support, disease severity, and physical activity, respectively. The BODE index, affect‐oriented coping, and duration since diagnosis of COPD were included as significant predictors of self‐efficacy. These findings suggest possible screening methods to identify patients with low levels of self‐efficacy and future intervention targeting for these patients would strengthen the efficiency of an intervention.
