Study Summary
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is prevalent and debilitating chronic disease in Veterans. COPD is highly co-morbid with depression and anxiety conferring greater morbidity and mortality risk. Physical activity is a modifiable behavior that can improve COPD outcomes. However, to date, interventions targeting physical activity have not addressed the high comorbidity between COPD and depression and/or anxiety symptoms ("emotional distress") despite emotional distress predicting poorer response to physical activity interventions. This CDA-2 proposal will develop and test the acceptability and feasibility of an integrative physical activity and mental health intervention for Veterans with COPD, emotional distress, and low physical activity. The intervention will be delivered via VA Video Connect enabling access to care among Veterans with substantial barriers to hospital-based outpatient care.
Primary Outcome
Change in scores on the Late Life Function and Disability Instrument (LLFDI) from baseline to Week 15. The LLFDI is a 32-item measure of self-reported functional impairment and disability. Respondents indicate the degree of difficulty they have performing physical activities without the help of someone or using assistive devices. Scores range from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating higher levels of functioning. The investigators will only use the Disability component of the LLDFI. The LLDFI
