Brief Summary: In this randomized controlled trial three contemporary modes for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD management in Dutch general practices are compared for costs and effects

usual general practitioner GP care at patients initiative
regular practice nurse review and
integrated self-management education

All three interventions are based on existing guidelines materials and field experiences
Detailed Description: Considering the ageing of the Dutch population and the current and increasing shortage of general practitioners GPs the capacity of primary healthcare is a major and growing concern Delegation of care normally provided by GPs with care provided by trained practice nurses is now rapidly emerging for patients with chronic respiratory disease ie asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD However most general practices still provide care at initiative of the patient self because of the lack in scientific evidence and the costs of implementing a regular care structure Self-care by patients may be an alternative to alleviate the growing load on primary health care

The following two main research questions are addressed in this study

Does an integrated self-management education intervention for patients with COPD in general practice contribute to attaining long-term treatment targets compared to regular monitoring by a practice nurse and usual GP care
What is the cost-effectiveness of an integrated self-management education intervention for patients with COPD compared to regular monitoring by a practice nurse and usual GP care
