Summary
This study tested a forgiveness-based motivational interviewing program in 30 COPD patients. Half received the counseling; the other half did not. Results showed that those who received the program had significantly lower death anxiety and higher life satisfaction and forgiveness one month later. The approach is a low-risk, supportive therapy to improve emotional well-being.
