Description
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease that causes airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. COPD causes fatigue, breathing difficulty, impaired oxygenation, mucous production, and wheezing. Centers for Disease Control states that there are 14.2 million U.S. adults diagnosed with COPD (CDC, 2021). There is an estimated 8% to 19% of military personnel diagnosed with COPD (Bamonti et al, 2022). Military personnel are at risk for COPD complications related to increased chemicals and poor air quality exposure. This literature review explored educational interventions to reduce COPD complications for military members. The research question for this project is: What are the most effective education strategies that can help reduce complications for active duty military members currently living with COPD?
