Abstract<\/h2>\n

Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore the experience of living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with the aim of gaining an understanding of how the disease affects the patients\u2019 lives.
\nDesign: This study is a phenomenological study.
\nSetting: The study was conducted in Atat\u00fcrk University chest service.
\nSubjects: The study consisted of 14 participants who had, had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for at least one year. The participants ranged from 55\u201181 years of age.
\nResults: Breathlessness was identified as the most troublesome symptom leading to panic and fear. Participants also described a feeling of frustration and loss of social activity. This also resulted in loss of roles and led to emotional trauma.
\nConclusion: This study provided valuable insights into how patients view the overall impact and their subsequent degree of coping with COPD from day to day.<\/p>\n
