I. Introduction
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is among the leading causes of death worldwide, along with lower respiratory tract infections, tuberculosis and lung cancer (Global Burden of Diseases [GBD], 2004). In 2004, World Health Organization estimated that there are 64 million people with COPD (World Health Organization, 2011). In the Philippines, the Department of Health (DOH) considers COPD as one of the country 's major health problems. It is seventh among the top ten causes of mortality in the country (Department of Health, 2011)
Considering the results of previous statistics, the researcher proposed a study that will address the patients who suffer from COPD. The theoretical framework guiding this study is Imogene King’s Theory of Goal Attainment. This study aims to focus on the attainment of goals, or outcomes, by nurse-patient partnerships.
II. Rationale
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is an umbrella term used to describe chronic lung diseases that are characterized by progressive obstruction of the airflow into and out of the lungs and increased shortness of breath. The two main diseases included under the umbrella term of COPD include emphysema and chronic bronchitis (WebMD, 2012).
Cigarette smoking or exposure to tobacco smoke is the primary cause of COPD. (WebMD,
