Learning to manage COPD through motivational conversations

This trial is testing whether a combination of COPD education and motivational interviewing—supportive conversations designed to help you stay motivated—can help you stick to your treatment plan and manage your condition better. Half of the participants will receive education and four motivational interview sessions over one month, while the other half will continue with their usual care. The goal is to see if this approach helps people with COPD feel more confident managing their disease and following their doctor's recommendations.

Many people with COPD struggle to stay consistent with their treatment and self-care routines. This trial exists to test whether motivational conversations—a proven approach used in other areas of healthcare—can help people feel more confident and empowered to manage their condition on their own.
