The aim of this grounded theory study was to illuminate the main concern of people suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and how they handle their everyday life. Data were collected through interviews with 23 people with COPD at different stages, from mild to severe. A substantive theory was generated showing that the main concern was feelings of guilt due to self-inflicted disease associated with smoking habits. This core category was related to five managing strategies termed making sense of existence, adjusting to bodily restrictions, surrendering to fate, making excuses for the smoking-related cause and creating compliance with daily medication.
本扎根理论研究旨在阐明慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者的主要关注点，以及他们如何应对日常生活。研究数据通过对 23 名处于不同阶段（从轻到重）COPD 患者的访谈收集而来。研究生成了一个实质性理论，表明主要关注点是由于与吸烟习惯相关的自致疾病而产生的内疚感。这个核心范畴与五个管理策略有关，分别是理解存在、适应身体限制、听天由命、为吸烟相关原因找借口和遵守日常药物治疗。
