Participants	Recruitment: hospital (inpatient). Assessed for eligibility: 114. Randomly assigned: SM: 57; UC: 57. Completed: SM: 56; UC: 56. Mean age: SM: 70.91 (SD 9.17) years; UC: 72.18 (SD 8.53) years. Gender (% male): SM: 87.5; UC: 91.1. COPD diagnosis: COPD characterized by inhaled bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 70%, FEV 1% predicted percentage < 80%. Inclusion of participants in acute phase: yes, during hospitalisation. Major inclusion criteria: a diagnosis of COPD characterized by inhaled bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 70%, FEV 1% predicted percentage < 80%; ability to care for themselves during stable periods; and willingness to sign an informed consent form.
