Abstract
Aim: To develop and test a predictive model of self-management based on the theory of the information–motivation–behavioural skills model and previous literature on self-management for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Design: A descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional design was used. Methods: A convenience sample recruited 248 patients with COPD from the pulmonary medicine clinic in South Korea between July 2020 and June 2021. We used self-administrated, structured questionnaires for dyspnoea, health status, knowledge, attitude, social support, self-efficacy and self-management. Data were analysed using path analysis to test a self-management model for patients with COPD. Results: Gender, COPD self-management knowledge, social support and COPD self-efficacy had a direct effect on COPD self-management. Dyspnoea, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease stage, health status, COPD self-management attitude and social support had an indirect effect on self-management in patients with COPD. These variables explained 43.2% of the total variance for self-management in patients with COPD. Conclusions: When assessing self-management of COPD; demographic and clinical factors, knowledge, attitudes, social support and self-efficacy included in the information–motivation–behavioural skills model should be considered together.

Funding Information:The standardized direct, indirect and total effects of the independent variables on COPD self‐management behaviour and SMC values are presented in Table 3 and Figure 2 . Gender (women) was directly associated with COPD self‐management; thus, H was supported. Dyspnoea was not directly associated with COPD self‐management and indirectly influenced COPD self‐management through COPD self‐efficacy; thus, H was partially supported. The GOLD stage was not directly associated with COPD self‐management and indirectly influenced COPD self‐management through COPD self‐efficacy; thus, H was partially supported. Health status was not directly associated with COPD self‐management and indirectly influenced COPD self‐management through COPD self‐efficacy; thus, H was partially supported. COPD self‐management knowledge was directly associated with COPD self‐management and did not indirectly influence COPD self‐management through COPD self‐efficacy; thus, H was partially supported. COPD self‐management attitude was not directly associated with COPD self‐management and indirectly influenced COPD self‐management through COPD self‐efficacy; thus, H was partially supported. Social support was directly associated with COPD self‐management and indirectly influenced COPD self‐management through COPD self‐efficacy; thus, H was supported. COPD self‐efficacy was directly associated with COPD self‐management; thus, H was supported. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
