Abstract
Chronic breathlessness is a distressing, disabling symptom common to a number of chronic conditions. The common-sense model of self-regulation proposes that symptoms are interpreted in a way that ‘makes sense’ to individuals which is reflected in coping strategies. Findings from a systematic review of the literature indicated that, while this model has been extensively used for chronic diseases, it has rarely been used to study symptoms such as breathlessness. In interviews with people living with chronic breathlessness, breathlessness beliefs, expectations and strategies aligned with the common-sense model. This model has the potential to provide health professionals an insight into an individual’s understanding of chronic breathlessness.
