Summary

This study evaluates the effects of the COPD Web (KOLwebben), an interactive web-based tool directed towards people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The COPD Web include tools that improve health literacy with a specific focus on 1) increased physical activity and 2) use of appropriate self-management strategies. This randomized clinical trial aims to generate evidence on the effect and usability of the COPD Web in a properly powered cohort of patients in primary care context.

Conditions

  • Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

COPD Web

The COPD Web will be introduced to the participant randomized to intervention by a letter containing a code to get access to the web site and how to create an account and login. At the web site there will be an instruction movie showing/ discussing specific content on the COPD Web. The web site will be self-managed. To secure that there is no technical or user problems participants will be contacted by a researcher the first week of intervention. Participants will receive "push notifications" (email) with targeted information containing links to the COPD Web and reminder to register the number of steps walked during that week. The push notifications will come every week (week 1-12), every other week (week 12 to 24) and every fourth week (week 24-52).
