Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, progressive and disabling disease that causes significant burden to patients, their families, and the NHS. Research suggests that the complexity of factors contributing to the disease requires a deeper understanding of the patient experience and a more holistic approach to care provision. This, the second of two articles, discusses the non-pharmacological therapies for managing patients with COPD and explores the concept of mindfulness as a therapy in the management of breathlessness.

Keywords: Anxiety; COPD; breathlessness; chronic obstructive airways disease; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; dyspnoea; mindfulness; relaxation therapy
