Development and Validation of a COPD Self-Management Scale

Abstract

The CSMS is reliable, valid, and sensitive for evaluating the self-management status of COPD patients. To our knowledge, it is the first dedicated scale for evaluating the self-management status of COPD patients, and will serve as an important instrument for assessing and improving the self-management of COPD patients, particularly, those in the Hunan region of China.
