Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Educational Program for People Living With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Participants receive an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention combined with education specifically developed for COPD. The CBT program includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) components. The intervention lasts 8-10 weeks and consists of several online modules. Modules cover topics such as coping strategies, mindfulness techniques, disease knowledge, and symptom management. Participants complete the modules at home via a secure online platform, with regular support and feedback from trained healthcare professionals. The program aims to improve mental health, reduce anxiety and depression, enhance COPD knowledge, and help participants manage symptoms and daily life more effectively.
