Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major cause of decreased quality of life in the elderly, requiring optimal self-management skills. Poor understanding of symptom management and treatment by the elderly is a major barrier to long-term care. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a health education program on improving self-management in the elderly with COPD. The study design used a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group with 150 respondents (75 experimental and 75 control) selected through purposive sampling. The education program was administered for four weeks with a focus on improving knowledge, attitudes, and symptom management skills. Data analysis used the Shapiro–Wilk test, paired t-test, independent t-test (Welch), and ANCOVA at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed a significant increase in self-management skills in the experimental group compared to the control (t = 10.64; p < 0.001; Cohen's d = 1.74). The average score increased by 14.66 points in the experimental group and 2.61 points in the control group. It was concluded that the health education program was effective in improving self-management in elderly with COPD, so it is recommended as a routine intervention in elderly health services.
