The components included in pulmonary rehabilitation can be considered as health promotion intervention. Health promotion interventions are an important part of the primary care's assignment/mission in Sweden and in order to stress the responsibility for these interventions directed to people with COPD, we have chosen to use the term health promotion interventions instead of pulmonary rehabilitation. Even though there is strong scientific evidence for beneficial effects of health promoting interventions including physical exercise and self-management strategies, a very limited proportion of the people with COPD get access to such services in the primary care. There is an obvious need to find ways to implement available knowledge in clinical practice. Accordingly, KOL-webben is developed as a method (measure/tool) to implement evidence based health promotion interventions and to facilitate the delivery of such services to people with COPD. KOL-webben is also developed as a tool that will support self-management including health promotion among people with COPD.
