About this study

Official title: A Psychological Intervention to Promote Acceptance and Adherence to Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) in People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

This study aims to analyze the impact of a brief psychological support intervention in the promotion of the adherence to Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV) among people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The investigators expect to see a positive impact of this intervention on both physical and psychological well-being, and consequently, a reduction of health costs.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline in Quality of Life (QoL) in COPD patients at 3, 6 and 12 months as measured by EuroQoL (EQ5D)

    EuroQoL or EQ5D, a simple and short questionnaire consists of two distinct sections: the first in which there are five items (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain / discomfort, anxiety / depression), concerning the status of health of the subject, which is required to indicate the severity level; the second section includes a visual-analogue scale instead represented graphically as a thermometer graduated from 0 (worst possible health status) to 100 (best possible health state), on which the respondent must indicate the level of perceived health at the time. All subjects will be assigned to psychometric assessment.

    Measured: Baseline + After 3, 6 and 12 months following the recruitment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change from baseline in acceptance NIV in COPD patients at 3, 6 and 12 months as measured by weekly means and standard deviations of hours of use of Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV)

    It will be summarized by weekly means and standard deviations of hours of use of Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV). All subjects will be assigned to this assessment.

    Measured: Baseline + After 3, 6 and 12 months following the recruitment

  2. Change from baseline in adherence NIV in COPD patients at 3, 6 and 12 months as measured by a modified version of the Beliefs About Medicine Questionnaire (BMQ)

    A specific instrument, adapted to detect representations of NIV, it is being validated. It will be based on a modified version of the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ) developed by Prof. Dr. Rob Horne et al. This tool is used to check the patient's beliefs regarding medications. It consists of two scales: Beliefs Specifications (10 items) and General Beliefs (8 items). In order to achieve the objectives of the study, we will use a modified version of the BMQ, adapted to detect representations of NIV. The unit of measure will be the scale that emerges from the test. All subjects will be assigned to psychometric assessment.

    Measured: Baseline + After 3, 6 and 12 months following the recruitment
