Swedish translation and psychometric testing of the self-conscious emotions in COPD questionnaire

Assessment of self-conscious emotions is important to develop tailored interventions for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Previous instruments have largely been developed for mental health populations.
