The management of chronic disease is complex. For many diseases, the treatment for the disease may mimic disease symptoms. For example, exercise training is recommended as part of the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Individuals may confuse the physiological experiences related to exercise with COPD symptoms. This type of association between treatment and disease can cause anxiety. For health care practitioners to successfully motivate their patients to make the necessary behavior changes for disease treatment, anxiety must also be addressed.
慢性病的管理很复杂。对于许多疾病来说,疾病的治疗可能会模仿疾病症状。例如,运动训练被推荐为慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)治疗的一部分。个体可能会将与运动相关的生理体验与COPD症状相混淆。治疗与疾病之间的这种关联会导致焦虑。为了让医疗从业者成功激励患者为疾病治疗做出必要的行为改变,焦虑问题也必须得到解决。
