Summary

This trial explores whether an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program, combined with COPD education, can improve mental health, disease knowledge, and quality of life in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Participants complete the 8-10 week online program from home, answer questionnaires about anxiety, depression, stress, and symptoms, and attend clinic visits for breathing and walking tests. The study focuses on whether this approach is practical and acceptable enough to test in a larger future trial.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) components combined with COPD education
What this could lead to
If this online program proves practical and helpful, it could pave the way for a larger study—and eventually a widely accessible way to improve mental health and quality of life for people with COPD.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, so results may not be conclusive. The program's success depends on participants' engagement, and it may not work for everyone or be generalizable beyond this group.
