Individualized Plan for Improving Adherence to Portable Oxygen Therapy in Patients With Respiratory Pathology

The nurse conducts a structured interview that covers the following areas: information on respiratory attraction and the symptom of dyspnea, expectations and beliefs about oxygen therapy, use of oxygen therapy, healthy habits, social support. It also evaluates the patient's perception of oxygen therapy, and the level of dyspnea using the mMRC scale. After this, the nurse evaluates the current level of adherence, and if she considers that the patient needs a reinforcement session, she schedules a workshop with 3 other patients and their main caregivers. This workshop takes place 30 days after this interview. In other patients, depending on the level of adherence, a support call is made, and all patients are visited again at the center at 90 days, performing the same evaluation with a structured interview and the scales that were made on day 1
