Abstract

Pulmonary rehabilitation self-efficacy is a factor related to pulmonary rehabilitation behaviors. This correlational descriptive research aimed to investigate pulmonary rehabilitation self-efficacy, pulmonary rehabilitation behavior, and the relationship between pulmonary rehabilitation self-efficacy and pulmonary rehabilitation behaviors among older persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Participants were 93 older persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease attending Lee Hospital, Lamphun province, selected using sampling without replacement during December 2023 - February 2024. The research instruments used in this study were a demographic and illness data recording form, a pulmonary rehabilitation self-efficacy interview measurement, and a pulmonary rehabilitation behaviors interview measurement. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product-moment correlation. The results showed that: 1. Older persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had a moderate level of self-efficacy in pulmonary rehabilitation, both overall and for each dimension, including general self-efficacy and specific self-efficacy in pulmonary rehabilitation. 2. Older persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had a moderate level of pulmonary rehabilitation behaviors. 3. Pulmonary rehabilitation self-efficacy, both overall and for each dimension, including general self-efficacy and specific self-efficacy in pulmonary rehabilitation, had a positive correlation with pulmonary rehabilitation behaviors among older persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at a high level, with p < .01 (r = 0.879, 0.878, and 0.843, respectively). The results of this study can be used as information for health care professionals caring for older persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to modify pulmonary rehabilitation behaviors among this population by promoting pulmonary rehabilitation self-efficacy.
