Abstract

Older adults are often affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, an ailment that is typified by the incidence and prevalence of respiratory symptoms that may compromise said people’s self-care. Literature has revealed the importance of comprehensive respiratory rehabilitation in empowering people to provide themselves with self-care. Notwithstanding, the adoption of these programs is still low despite the numerous guidelines and directives in regard to intervention in respiratory rehabilitation. More recent literature proposes to increase adherence with household interventions and emphasizes the need to create specific intervention programs for older adults. However, it is important to understand what their self-care needs are so that the programs meet the needs of older adults with this respiratory pathology.

Objective: Describe the healthcare and self-care needs of older adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease enrolled in a Community Care Unit, in central Portugal.

Methods: This article is a study protocol and it is part of a research program that aims to develop household intervention in Respiratory Rehabilitation Nursing that is capable of promoting self-care in older adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease through the creation of complex interventions based on the guidelines and principles of the Medical Research Council, which is integrated in the development phase. It is a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study based on individual, semi-structured interviews. The sample will consist of 10 people aged 65 or over, diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The gathered information aims at an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon.
