Health Education has shown itself as essential for the understanding of
individuals about psychological and physical
changes caused by diseases. The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) is a severe public health problem, and it depends on health education
measures for its control. A group of patients with COPD, in pneumatological
medical treatment, were investigated to find information
about the disease. An observational, descriptive and analytical study with analysis and application of a semistructured
questionnaire to evaluate the individuals’ knowledge about the COPD. Collected data were
registered and analyzed using Google Docs.
The software used for the calculation of statistical measures was Microsoft Excel？. For the research
participants’ characterizationanalysis,
the use of grouped data for the frequency distribution of Sturges Rulewas necessary. This study provided knowledge about
which information a group of bearers of COPD receives at a college
hospital providing treatment. The interviewed
have an average age of 70 years old and most are women with education
level between elementary and high school and diagnose time of 6.8 years. Most of the sample
reported knowledge and consciousness about the disease, informed by the
doctors, followed by physiotherapists. Although the role of the Ministry of Health in health education, subjects were
better informed about the disease by their doctors instead of public
campaigns.
