Given that chronic diseases and conditions have become part of everyday life for a large part of the population, the question of quality of life in the given circumstances arises. Health is one of the factors that affects the personal quality of life and individual experience of life satisfaction should be recognized as a valuable indicator of the health status of the population. According to the World Health Organization, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by incompletely reversible and progressive airway obstruction, the course of which is accompanied by episodes of acute worsening of cough symptoms, expectoration of sputum and dyspnea, variable frequency and severity. Acute exacerbations of COPD are associated with worsening of the stable clinical condition and disease progression, risk of recurrent exacerbations, development of complications, reduced physical activity, decreased lung function and deterioration of overall health, and increased risk of death. Consequently, COPD greatly affects the daily lives of patients. It is associated with significant limited physical ability, an economic burden that includes hospitalization costs, and loss of income due to changes in work ability. Also, patients face reduced daily activities and reduced quality of health caused by the progression of dyspnea, skeletal muscle dysfunction, and comorbidities. Therefore, the prevention of exacerbations is the main goal of caring for patients with COPD, which is greatly contributed by the participation of patients in self-care of the disease and thus raising the quality of life.
