Breathlessness Intervention Co-Design
This study aims to co-design a nurse-led, non-pharmacological intervention to support the identification and management of people with chronic breathlessness. The co-design will then be tested in a randomised controlled trial to determine efficacy.
Who can participate?
We are looking for:
Healthcare professionals and support staff working in primary care or nursing homes including general practitioners, practice nurses and practice managers.
People experiencing moderate to severe chronic breathlessness, and their carers
What is involved?
Participation in this study will involve a one-on-one interview with one of the research team via Zoom. You will be asked questions regarding your experience and opinions on a proposed breathlessness intervention. The interview will take about 30-60 minutes via Zoom, and will be conducted at a time that suits you best. All information collected will be anonymous and confidential.
In recognition of your time and contribution, you will receive a $100 gift voucher.
