To measure self-efficacy in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Wigal et al. (1991) developed The Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Self-Efficacy Scale. The total score is calculated by the score of each of the answers given. There are 34 items in the total of the subtitles, a minimum of 34 points and a maximum of 170 points. High scores indicate that the level of self-efficacy is high. To find the overall score of the subscales, the total score is divided by the number of items that make up the subscale. In comparison, if there is an increase in score in the posttest compared to the pretest, it is interpreted that the degree of confidence in managing breathing difficulties or avoiding increased. By translating the scale into Turkish, Kara and Mirici (2002) tested its validity and reliability. Cronbach's alpha value in the original version of the scale is 0.95; Cronbach's alpha value of the Turkish version was found to be 0.94.

St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) is known to be associated with the most commonly used scales in respiratory diseases. SGRQ is a 50-item scale under three main titles developed in 2001: symptoms (8 items), activities (16 items), effects of the disease (26 items).

It is a scale that investigates the relationship between dyspnea, sputum, cough, respiratory status, and daily activity, especially in individuals with COPD. Its highest score is 100 and it expresses the highest level of negative status. Cronbach's alpha value of SGRQ was calculated as 0.88 for the whole scale, and it was found in the validity analysis that it correlated significantly with similar scales (p <0.0001). The SGRQ scale was translated into Turkish by Polatlı et al. (2013) and its validity and reliability study was conducted. Correlation of Turkish version Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.90.

It is known that spirometry is the best method in the evaluation of airway obstruction and COPD. After spirometry, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiration volume in 1 second (FEV1), FEV1 / FVC ratio values are obtained. Normal values of the FEV1 / FVC ratio between 0.7-0.8 and less than 0.65 are indicative of airway obstruction. After spirometry, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiration volume in 1 second (FEV1), FEV1 / FVC ratio. Normal values of the FEV1 / FVC ratio between 0.7-0.8 and less than 0.65 are indicative of airway obstruction.
