ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the exercise self-regulatory efficacy and its influencing factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) patients with acute exacerbation. Methods A total of 126 patients with acute exacerbation of COPD were selected by convenient sampling method and investigated with a demographic questionnaire, EXercise Self-Regulatory Efficacy Scale and Social Support Rating Scale. Results The mean score of exercise self-regulatory efficacy was (79.97 ± 19.78) points at medium level. Multiple-factor analysis showed that availability of social support, other diseases, age and dyssomnia were influencing factors of exercise self-regulatory efficacy of COPD patients with acute exacerbation(t=-3.082-5.351, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusions The level of exercise self-regulatory efficacy of COPD patients with acute exacerbation need to be improved, and we should pay more attention to the social support system and the control of other diseases.
