Abstract:

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) remains a pressing global health concern, necessitating comprehensive understanding and improved management strategies. This study aimed to elucidate current COPD management practices and perceptions among healthcare professionals and patients across select geographic regions. Through a cross-sectional design, qualitative data was collected and analyzed, revealing both challenges and strengths in current COPD care approaches. Key findings suggest that while there is a general consensus on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, gaps in training, knowledge dissemination, and collaboration persist. Additionally, the study underscores the need for integrating objective clinical measures alongside qualitative feedback to holistically evaluate patient outcomes and care efficacy. The results provide a pivotal foundation upon which healthcare systems can build, emphasizing the integration of technology, personalized patient-centered care, and enhanced multidisciplinary collaboration. This study not only highlights the current landscape of COPD management but also indicates clear avenues for future research and intervention, aiming for global betterment in COPD care.
