About this study

Official title: Effect of Self Management Program Based on 5A Model on Clinical Status of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

This study evaluates the effectiveness of self management programs based on 5A model on the lung function status, dyspnea and exercise tolerance in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The control group were receiving standard practice care and the intervention group were receiving intervention in addition to standard practice care. The intervention content include implementation of a self management plan based on 5A model.

Read the detailed description

5 A model implemented during a period of 12 weeks including 5 stags: assessment of behavior, beliefs and motivation of the patient (Assess); provide information about personal health risks and benefits of change (Advise); mutual contribution of patients and health care provider on setting realistic goals based on the patient's interest and confidence in their ability to change the behavior (Agree); help anticipate barriers and develop practical applications based on the identified patient's strategies, problem-solving techniques and social/environmental support (Assist) and specify plan for follow-up (Visits, Phone calls) and providing support in the course of follow up (Arrange).

What is being measured

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

  1. dyspnea severity measured by dyspnea Borg scale

    dyspnea was measured by dyspnea Borg scale. This scale is visual tool ranging from 0(not dyspnea) to 10(maximum dyspnea).

    Measured: 3 month

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. exercise tolerance rate

    exercise tolerance was measured by Six Minutes Walking Test.in this test the distance that each patient was able to walk under standard condition in 6 minutes was measured by researchers.

    Measured: 3 month

  2. lung function status measured by spirometry

    lung function was measured by spirometry. Spirometry is a test that measures how an individual inhales or exhales volumes of air as a function of time

    Measured: 3 month

  3. quality of life

    quality of life was measured by SF-36 Questionnaire. It consisted of 36 questions that examine the eight quality of life dimensions, each question has a continuous quantitative scale from 0 to 100, in which higher scores indicate better situation.

    Measured: 3 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 5 A model in people with COPD, run by Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

dyspnea severity measured by dyspnea Borg scale (time frame: 3 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Oct 2015.
