COPD Self-Management Programs

COPD self-management programs are educational and support tools designed to help individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease better control their condition. They provide guidance on recognizing symptoms, using medications correctly, and making lifestyle changes like quitting smoking and exercising safely. These programs also teach techniques to manage flare-ups and prevent hospital visits, empowering patients to take an active role in their health. By improving understanding and skills, self-management programs aim to enhance quality of life, reduce symptoms, and slow disease progression.
