Summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can significantly impact a person's quality of life, not only physically but also mentally. This cross-sectional study aims to assess the psychological well-being of COPD patients by utilising specific questionnaires. These questionnaires will evaluate various aspects of mental health, including anxiety, depression, and potentially other relevant factors like self-compassion or fear of negative evaluation, self-efficacy, shame, and guilt. Additionally, the study will examine how these psychological factors relate to the severity of COPD symptoms, such as dyspnea and functional limitations. By understanding the psychological impact of COPD, this research hopes to emphasize the importance of medical education and mental health support in COPD management strategies.
