Plain English Summary
Background and study aims
Many people in the United Kingdom with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) also experience feeling anxious or low in their mood. This study aims to see if a treatment called cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can help reduce symptoms. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a method used to explore how we think, feel and act when we have a physical health problem. The benefit of CBT is that it can hopefully change the way patients cope with their illness and symptoms in a practical, problem solving way.
Who can participate?
Patients can participate if they have a confirmed diagnosis of COPD, any gender and any age.
What does the study involve?
Patients are randomly allocated either self-help leaflets to work through or individual appointments with a nurse for up to six sessions of CBT. All patients are followed up after three, six and 12 months with questionnaires to assess their progress.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?

| Condition | Anxiety, depression, respiratory. |
| Intervention | As of 14/10/2016: The two interventions were: 1. Group A – CBT Arm (Brief CBT treatment delivered by respiratory nurses). Group A received a brief CBT intervention called the Lung Manual Programme plus self-help leaflets (Northumberland, Tyne and Wear Mental Health Trust leaflets on panic) and the Self-Help Toolkit were provided. Depression and low mood leaflets were provided if co-existing symptoms of depression were identified. The CBT was delivered by one of four respiratory nurses who had at least three days prior training in CBT with specific study training. Individualised treatment plans were developed to deliver between two and six sessions of CBT at two weekly intervals depending on clinical need. The first session lasted 30 to 45 minutes and follow-up sessions lasted 15 to 30 minutes. CBT therapy was administered in the hospital outpatient clinic or home setting for patients who were housebound. 2. Group B – Active control arm - Self Help Leaflets Patients in group B were randomised to receive the same self-help leaflets as the CBT group. Patients were provided the leaflets, advised to read them thoroughly and complete the exercises within them. Patients were encouraged to contact their primary care team should further help be required. Follow-up period: 12 months Initial Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychological treatment for anxiety & depression. Follow Up Length: 12 month(s) |
