Patient Empowerment Training for COPD Patients

"After the pre-test is administered to the patients in the experimental group, patient empowerment training (intervention) will be given. Patients will be divided into groups of 15 people and the training will be given in a total of 6 sessions, all in one session. The Patient Empowerment Handbook prepared by the researchers will be used during the training. The training was planned to last 1 hour (45 minutes of theoretical training, 15 minutes of question and answer). The training was planned to be carried out in an interactive manner (question and answer method, sharing of patient experiences, group discussion). The Patient Empowerment Handbook will be delivered to patients after the training for them to read whenever they want. How to use the manual will be explained to patients."
