About
ABSTRACT Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease characterized by the inability of the body to adequately exchange gases, resulting in progressive shortness of breath that can form secretions and compromise the performance of daily activities. COPD is reported as the third most common cause of death worldwide, with 3.23 million deaths in 2019. Anxiety and depression are common in individuals with COPD. However, COPD is more common in patients with other chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, cancer or musculoskeletal disorders. Communication is a key component in interprofessional care as well as in improving patient care outcomes. Strategies to address gaps in the quality of information and communication between patients, caregivers and professionals improve patient safety as well as quality of care. One of these strategies is the use of whiteboards at the bedside. The use of whiteboards at the bedside has emerged as a strategy to improve interprofessional team participation, communication and information sharing with care teams, patients and families. This study will be conducted in randomized controlled single blind parallel groups to examine the effect of bedside whiteboard use on anxiety, depression and nursing care satisfaction in COPD patients. The research will consist of patients who are hospitalized in Atatürk University Research Hospital Chest Diseases Clinic and who meet the inclusion criteria. In the results of the research, it is thought that the use of whiteboard will affect the communication between health care team members.
