Objective To investigate and analyze awareness of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in newly diagnosed patients. Methods Patients who were newly diagnosed with COPD in our hospital from March 2010 to March 2011 were enrolled. Patients’ awareness of COPD was evaluated using Bristol COPD knowledge questionnaire (BCKQ). Results A total of 112 patients completed BCKQ with a score of 28.56±0.79 and correct rate of 43.94% (28.56/65). Patients’ awareness was worse in “vaccination”
"inhaled bronchodilator”
“antibiotics”
“oral hormones” and “inhaled hormone” than other fields. BCKQ scores from patients with different severity of COPD were not significantly different (P=0.060). Conclusion Patients
who were newly diagnosed as COPD
have little awareness of the disease
especially lack of awareness in treatment-related aspect
