Relationship, Intimacy and Sexual Health in COPD: Dyadic Processes, Biopsychosocial Perspectives and Interventions

Increasingly, attention has turned toward how COPD influences relationship dynamics, intimacy and sexual health. These domains are central to quality of life but have historically been underexplored in respiratory research. This Article Collection seeks to advance a comprehensive understanding of how COPD intersects with relational and sexual wellbeing within a biopsychosocial framework. It emphasizes both individual and dyadic perspectives, recognizing that COPD affects not only those diagnosed but also their partners and broader relational contexts.
