Abstract

Dyspnea is an impairing symptom in obstructive pulmonary diseases. Besides multiple physiological pathways contributing to this sensation recent research has demonstrated an important role of psychological factors in the perception of dyspnea. The present review article synthesizes the research literature with regard to psychological aspects of the perception of dyspnea as well as other dyspnea-related issues such as course of disease, neuropsychological correlates and interventions that focus on psychological or behavioural changes. The available data show that inaccurate perception of dyspnea is related to poorer treatment outcome in obstructive pulmonary diseases and is impacted upon by emotional, attentional and learning processes. Neuropsychological deficits might further contribute to this association. Different psychological and behavioural interventions might reduce comorbid psychological disorders and thus improve the perception of dyspnea. However, future research is clearly required to substantiate current findings.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Both stages of the dyspnea perception model may be modulated by cognitive processes (memory, learning, schemata) and personality (affectivity).

    “Both stages may be modulated by cognitive processes (memory, learning, and schemata) and personality (affectivity). 3”

    From Cognitive behavioral therapy for management of dyspnea: A pilot study (2015) · cites this paper as [3]

    The Learning processes and dyspnea section says learning can affect breathlessness perception, and the Emotions and dyspnea section links negative affectivity to less accurate perception. The paper does not establish that memory, learning, schemata, and affectivity modulate both stages of a dyspnea-perception model; the two pathways it describes assign learning and emotions to the secondary pathway.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
