Summary

Narrative-based tiered asynchronous psychosocial and behavioral whole health support for people adjusting to living with COPD. The intervention is administered by experienced LCSWs under the PI's supervision.

Detailed description

This study will advance health access equity for people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) by providing an asynchronous, patient-led, web-based, adaptive, flexible, and tiered intervention that easily integrates into the daily lives of both providers and patients living with COPD. This intervention includes health navigation education, health and behavior coaching, and narrative, strengths-based mental and behavioral health support. COPD is a complex chronic illness with multiple domains to study whole person support. Not only because of the significant impact of a lack of whole person support for people living with COPD but also because COPD shares many of the same symptomology and impact on daily living as other significant chronic illnesses such as heart failure, some neurological disorders, and some types of cancer (5-7). The lessons learned from studying COPD whole person support can be applied to other similar symptomatic burdensome chronic illnesses that also suffer from fragmented care.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Tiered whole health support for people living with COPD	The website design allows study participants to choose the intervention tier(s) that meets their needs. There are three tiers from Tier 1: Information only, Tier 2 Reflective Writing, and Tier 3 LCSW Psychotherapeutic Intervention. Participants will also be able to choose multiple tiers if they are interested in continuing their participation. First Tier: The website offers standardized information about COPD care, healthcare navigation, and whole-person care. Information includes symptom management, disease progression and trajectory, healthcare navigation concepts, and directs people to the VA website with information about whole-person care. Second Tier: If participants choose, they can also select writing prompts with opportunities to reflect on their whole-person care and adjustment to illness. Third Tier: People living with COPD can also select to have asynchronous interaction with a licensed clinical social worker providing the narrative-based psychotherapeutic intervention.
