dc.description.abstract | Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is recommended for patients functionally restricted by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, attendance and adherence to PR remains suboptimal. No previous research has explored COPD patient experiences during the key period from referral to initiation of PR in the United Kingdom. This research aimed to explore the lived experience of COPD patients referred to PR programmes prior to participation. COPD participants were recruited from referrals to two community PR programmes. Semi-structured interviews withCOPDparticipants occurred followingPRreferral, but prior to programme initiation. Data were analyzed using applied interpretive phenomenology. Twenty-five COPD participants aged 42–90 were interviewed. ‘Uncertainty’ affected participants throughout their lived experience of COPD that negatively impacted illness perceptions, PR perceptions and increased participant’s panic and anger. Participants who perceivedCOPDless as a chronic condition andmore as a cyclical process experienced fewer feelings of panic or anger. The experience of uncertainty was disabling for these COPD participants. Recognition of the role that uncertainty plays in patients withCOPDis the first step towards developing interventions focused on reducing this uncertainty, thereby reducing the burden of the disease for the individual patient and facilitating PR attendance. | en_US |
