Effects of person-centred care via telephone on self-efficacy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Subgroup analysis of a randomized controlled trial

• © 2020 The Authors. Nursing Open published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Aim: To evaluate the effects of PCC in the form of structured telephone support on self-reported cardiac self-efficacy in patients with COPD. Methods: We enrolled 105 patients, aged ≥50years, admitted to hospital and diagnosed with COPD from January 2015 to November 2016. The patients received usual care or PCC via telephone added to usual care. The Swedish Cardiac Self-Efficacy Scale comprising three dimensions (control symptoms, control illness and maintain functioning) was used as outcome measure. Data was collected at baseline, and at 3- and 6-month follow-ups. Results: At both the 3- and 6-month follow-ups, the intervention group improved significantly more than the control group in the control illness dimension (p=.012 and p=.032, respectively). No differences were found in the other two dimensions. Conclusions: PCC in the form of structured telephone support increases patients’ confidence in managing their illness and may be a feasible strategy to support patients in their homes.
