In a nutshell: Describes the development of a Structured Education Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programme (SEPRP), for the PRINCE (Pulmonary Rehabilitation In Nurse-led Community Environments) study.  The findings led to the development of the eight-week PRINCE programme, based on a philosophy of empowerment which was underpinned by the Transtheoretical model (TTM) of behaviour change. Participants’ experiences of self management following participation in the programme were also examined.
