Kaşıkçı MK. International Journal of Nursing Practice 2011; 17 : 1–8 Using self‐efficacy theory to educate a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A case study of 1‐year follow‐up Self‐efficacy is important in determining which activities or situations an individual will perform or avoid. This is a case study report to explore the utility of structured education programme on strengthening self‐efficacy in an older adult with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To comprehensively evaluate this intervention, a combined qualitative and quantitative approach was used. Although qualitative data were collected following the interview guide, quantitative data were collected by the demographic data form and the COPD Self‐Efficacy Scale (CSES) at the preprogramme and postprogramme stage. The patient's self‐efficacy scores improved after 8 weeks of the structured education programme and remained relatively constant on all the repeated measurements after education. Qualitative data were identified as ‘difficulties’ and ‘facilities’. This study indicates that, by applying a self‐efficacy theory, a planned education programme could be useful in improving both short‐term and long‐term self‐efficacy in patients with COPD.
