“…In addition, the authors state that asymptomatic patients can have moderate COPD, and patients caught earlier are more likely to quit smoking. This is likely to be due to the 'hope' of a slower progression rate of COPD (Bragadottir et al, 2017).…”

“…The prevalence of undiagnosed airway obstruction in this population was 2.3%, suggesting it is possible to diagnose asymptomatic smokers with airway obstruction. However, further research needs to be performed into the benefits of early diagnosis and costeffectiveness of screening Bragadottir (2017) To describe the lived experience of both patients and their relatives following a COPD diagnosis…”

“…It is integral that nurses know that microspirometers must not be used to diagnose COPD, as they result in false diagnoses (NICE, 2011;Gaduzo et al, 2015;GOLD, 2017). In addition to precursor tools, nurses must perform history taking and physical assessment prior to diagnostic testing (Celli et al, 2015;Roberts et al, 2016;Bragadottir et al, 2017;GOLD, 2017). Studies were found incorrectly using hand-held microspirometry to confirm COPD diagnosis (Estes et al, 2014).…”

“…Despite symptoms being frequently present (Sansores et al, 2013;Estes et al, 2014;Weiss et al, 2014;Delgado et al, 2016;Roberts et al, 2016;Kotaki et al, 2017), patients often adjust to symptoms, and do not accept the existence of their disease (Bragadottir et al, 2017). Bragadottir et al's (2017) study was a pioneer study of the feelings and challenges patients and families face in relation to COPD. In Japan, patients commonly mistook the symptoms of COPD for natural ageing (Kotaki et al, 2017).…”

Section: The Need For Copd Educationmentioning

confidence: 99%

“…Perhaps the answer lies with public health awareness and patients, rather than health professionals. Studies have found that patients are reluctant to seek advice from their primary care provider regarding any respiratory difficulties (Weiss et al, 2014;Bragadottir et al, 2017). This is frequently due to their adaptation to respiratory symptoms, or a lack of awareness of the disease (Suthar et al, 2015).…”

This systematic literature review aimed to identify factors influencing late- and under-diagnosis of COPD in primary care Background: There are millions of people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have not been diagnosed. Patients have regularly lost half of their lung function by the point of diagnosis, and therefore there are fewer interventions available. Aim: The aim of this systematic literature review was to identify factors influencing late- and under-diagnosis of COPD in primary care. This includes considering the current methods of COPD screening, and whether early screening would benefit diagnostic rates. Methods: A comprehensive, systematic literature search was undertaken using the following databases: BNI, CINAHL, Medline, NHS Evidence, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online. Following this, a critical review of the literature was performed on 10 relevant articles. A thematic analysis followed. Results: There is a significant lack of up-to-date research on COPD screening and early detection. Generalised screening versus case-finding may be a method of identifying the undiagnosed population; however, evidence needs to improve. There is a lack of COPD education in healthcare and wider society. COPD among women is on the rise, yet they are less likely to be identified. There is a necessity for guidance and research to be provided. Screening is likely to be the future preferred method for identifying those undiagnosed, but research needs to identify the benefits of screening versus casefinding. Conclusion: The findings can be applied to primary care nursing, to combat COPD under-diagnosis.

The information needs of people with COPD—The holistic approach with special reference to gender and time since diagnosis

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a persistent, life-limiting disease and is currently the fourth leading cause of death in the world (GOLD, 2020). Although COPD is incurable, its symptoms can be relieved and the quality of life of those with COPD can be improved. Because self-management is a crucial part of the lives of people with COPD, they need the requisite knowledge and skills to cope with this task. The disease's trajectory as well as the life situation of every person with COPD is unique. Therefore, the information needs of people with COPD vary between individuals and as such counselling provided by healthcare professionals (HCPs) should be tailored accordingly. | BACKG ROU N DCOPD is a progressive, incurable and debilitating disease. Smoking cessation is the most effective intervention to either reduce the risk of developing COPD or to stop its progression and improve long-term prognosis (GOLD, 2020). The progression of COPD can be very slow, and the symptoms can be misinterpreted as a normal
