To evaluate the benefits of self-management interventions on the quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. ⋯ Nursing management in health services is involved in caring for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is responsible for liaising with other members of the health-care team. We recommend that nursing management be engaged in health-care services to develop and implement self-management interventions for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients to improve their quality of life.
