ABSTRACT
Patients with chronic progressive pulmonary disease suffer from physiological and psychological consequences. These patients experience functional disability, depression and anxiety, and decreased quality of life. Their ability to perform activities of daily living can be severely impaired. Direct patient care nurses are well suited to assist these patients and their caregivers, identifying challenges through interactions and active listening and assisting in the identification of solutions. Even simple solutions to everyday issues can reduce the disease burden for this population. This article describes how direct patient care nurses can address the challenges of these patients through an innovative environment known as a makerspace.
