  ABSTRACT: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has been described as a progressive airway disease that leads to cognitive and physical limitations and makes patients dependent on others, eventually impacting patients’ self-efficacy due to loss of self-confidence in performing daily living activities and coping with the disease. Patient education has long been recognised as a cornerstone in supporting individuals in navigating and coping with chronic illness. Providing access to culturally relatable, comprehensible educational tools can significantly enhance information and treatment uptake, foster stronger self-confidence, and strengthen self-efficacy among people living with COPD. Providing patients with the necessary information and educational materials is a basic step in managing the impact of COPD. Our on-the-job reflections prompted the development of a comprehensible, meaningful, and adaptable informational package focused on self-efficacy and health education for people living with COPD.
