Brief Summary: The literature and our preliminary studies found that in COPD patients psychosocial factors affect quality of life QOL and functioning more than would be expected given the severity of their disease To improve QOL and functioning in the approximately 50 of COPD patients with significant anxiety andor depressive symptoms interventions are needed Much research documents the utility of cognitive behavioral therapy CBT in treating depression and anxiety showing it to have promise as a self-management intervention to improve QOL in COPD patients
Detailed Description: Background

The literature and our preliminary studies found that in COPD patients psychosocial factors affect quality of life QOL and functioning more than would be expected given the severity of their disease To improve QOL and functioning in the approximately 50 of COPD patients with significant anxiety andor depressive symptoms interventions are needed Much research documents the utility of cognitive behavioral therapy CBT in treating depression and anxiety showing it to have promise as a self-management intervention to improve QOL in COPD patients

Objectives
