ABSTRACT
A descriptive study to assess the knowledge and practices regarding
COPD prevention and management among staff nurses in selected
hospital of district Patiala. The global burden of disease study reports
a prevalence of 251 million cases globally in 2016. Globally, it is
estimated that 3.17 million deaths were caused by the disease in 2015
(that is, 5% of all deaths globally in that year). COPD is an important
cause of mortality and morbidity in our country and all over the
world. Prevalence of COPD is being anticipated to increase due to
continuing risk factors and aging of society. Although, COPD is a
disease involving the respiratory medicine experts, its symptoms and
diagnostic criteria should also be known by the primary healthcare
providers considering its economic burden. The study is non
experimental descriptive method and data was collected through
convenient sampling technique i.e self structured questionnaire and
check list. The analysis was done through ANNOVA analysis test.
Practices like hand washing, proper medication, knowledge regarding
medicines, oxygen therapies, diagnostic
tests (spirometry),
pulmonary rehabilitation, infection control techniques, non-invasive
ventilation, inhalation techniques, and therapeutic outcomes
regarding COPD prevention and management will be average among
staff nurses.
