Abstract
Purpose of the review: Effective education enables people to modify the distress and impact of breathlessness by integrating evidence-informed breathlessness-related behaviours (knowledge, skill, attitude) into everyday life. This review considers recent studies of educational approaches focussed on chronic breathlessness as a modifiable, noxious and debilitating multidimensional experience.
Recent findings: Systematic assessments of text-based patient education materials and mobile phone applications specific to breathlessness indicate that while these resources are readily available, issues continue to persist with quality, readability, usefulness and availability of non-English language versions. Various forms of educational interventions for breathlessness have proven feasible and valued by people living with breathlessness and their significant others (uptake/completion, personal benefit, ripple effect on health professionals). Health professional knowledge about the impact of chronic breathlessness and effective management can be altered through structured, educational interventions.
Summary: Empiric studies of patient education for breathlessness are scarce despite persistent calls for better breathlessness education for people living with or providing care for someone living with this noxious symptom. In clinical practice, it is highly likely that there are effective and ineffective educational practices, both of which, if publicly disseminated, would inform future educational strategies to advance breathlessness self-management.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
