Exercise performance improves in patients with COPD due to respiratory muscle endurance training
See more Setting of implementation: Outpatient care (hospital) Professionals delivering the intervention: N/A Targeted self-management behaviours: Condition-specific behaviours, Self-monitoring
Components
Education (E)
Monitoring techniques (MT)
Individual sessions
A single person receives the self-management support. Examples: self-guided actions (without the participation of any other person) during a clinical visit or within the context of a support or educational session
Face-to-face
Self-management support delivered in a face-to-face encounter between the providers and patients and/or caregivers.

Monitoring techniques (MT)
Self-monitoring training and feedback. Training and encouraging people to recognize, monitor, and record behaviours, symptoms, or clinical data. This process may include regular feedback from a clinician, or a synopsis of information registered in a digital tool to encourage you to continue monitoring your illness and behaviours.
Example: Showing a patient how to record blood sugar levels, physical activity, or pain.
