title: [The education program for patients with COPD from Bad Reichenhall].
abstract: An education program for patients with COPD is presented. This program was created for inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation at the Klinik Bad Reichenhall. We intend to improve the patients' acceptance of disease and their understanding of therapy. Furthermore we want to impart basic knowledge about COPD and its treatment. The patients should be motivated to manage the disease in an active and more independent way: They should control the natural course of their disease by learning preventive and restorative health care behaviours and self-help activities in case of acute exacerbations. The aim is to attain the acceptance of changing life-style.
