Brief Summary: Because of a lack of clinical trials there is currently a paucity of evidence on the most effective strategies to identify and address psychological co-morbidity in COPD or on targeting these interventions to specific patient groups The relationship between physiological disease impairment and patients disease experience is weak Some patients have highly impaired Quality of life QoL despite relatively minor lung function impairment and others have good QoL despite severe lung function impairment It is likely that psychological and behavioral factors may be relevant moreover the coping strategies used by patients and their relationship to individual psychological factors have been incompletely explored Pulmonary Rehabilitation PR is part of integrated COPD patient management and its potential impact on QoL should be underlined several studies have found that physical exercise has a beneficial effect on depression symptoms GOLD 2017

Before initiating PR a comprehensive and careful assessment should be performed treatment goals specific healthcare needs smoking status nutritional health self-management capacity health educational psychological health status and social circumstances medical history and comorbidities and exercise capabilities and limitations Moreover PR has beneficial effects on mood status and daily activities

Sustaining Pulmonary Rehabilitation benefits and regular exercise over the long term is difficult without any maintenance strategy The main aim of this study is to assess the Effect of the Psychological Intervention PI on Quality of life psychological status and well-being and the maintenance of Pulmonary Rehabilitation benefits in COPD patients

A PI based on psychoeducation and psychological and emotional support may be a key to improve Quality of life and to bring COPD patients to show a greater awareness of their health status
