Brief summary (registry, in English)
This feasibility study aims to assess the practicality and acceptability of a nurse-led motivational interview intervention designed to reduce sedentary behavior in patients with severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The study will evaluate the recruitment process, patient adherence, and the usability of accelerometers for objectively measuring sedentary time. A total of 10-12 patients with severe COPD will be recruited and receive individual motivational interviews conducted by trained nurses in their homes. The intervention will be based on motivational interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles, focusing on helping patients identify barriers and set realistic goals to increase physical activity. The study will determine whether patients tolerate wearing accelerometers for seven days at different time points and whether the intervention is acceptable to both patients and nurses. Insights gained from this feasibility study will guide refinements to the intervention before launching a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test its effectiveness on a larger scale.
