Objectives To synthesise findings from qualitative studies on the preferences of people with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for self-management support. Methods A thematic synthesis of literature was carried out. Six databases (ASSIA, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Psychology and the Behavioural Sciences and SSCI) were used to search for qualitative studies eliciting perspectives of adults with asthma and/or COPD on self-management support, published between May 2008 and April 2018. Results A total of 968 articles were retrieved across databases, with 15 articles included in the synthesis. Three themes were identified: Types of Support described the range of supports valued by participants in the studies, particularly education provided by competent healthcare professionals; The Support Relationship highlighted the importance of a collaborative relationship with one’s healthcare professional which was characterised by communication, trust and continuity over time and Accessibility identified the considerations of participants relating to physically accessible, prompt support which is provided in a format preferred by the individual. Discussion Increased understanding of patients’ preferences may provide insight which can be used to enhance engagement with self-management support. Further research needs to examine self-management support preferences outside the context of evaluating interventions for people with asthma/COPD and needs to address the optimal means of enhancing accessibility.

The Impact

BackgroundSmoking rather than injecting heroin has become more common over the last 20 years. Although there is an increasing body of evidence describing high levels of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in people who smoke heroin, there is limited evidence documenting the impact of the long-term condition on this population group.AimThis study aimed to describe the experiences of people who smoke heroin with COPD in Liverpool, UK.Design & settingParticipants were purposefully sampled for this qualitative study. They included adults enrolled in an opioid replacement clinic run by Addaction in Liverpool, who had already engaged with spirometry testing for COPD as part of a previous study.MethodSemi-structured interviews were performed with participants with spirometrically confirmed COPD in opioid replacement clinics. Data were analysed using a framework analysis approach.ResultsSixteen potential participants were invited to take part in the study, of which 10 agreed and were interviewed. Three themes common to all interviews were identified: functional measures of lung health that impacted on their activities of daily living; inhaler and medication perceptions with erratic use that was not concordant with their prescription; and the impact of difficulties accessing care.ConclusionThese findings, along with previous studies highlighting the prevalence of COPD in this population, warrant efforts to integrate community COPD and opioid replacement services to improve outcomes for this vulnerable population.
