Abstract

Background

Individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) should engage in regular exercise, emphasizing the importance of home-based practices.

Aim

This study aimed to investigate the effects of home follow-up, counselling and exercise training through telecounselling on hospital readmissions and the quality of life of individuals with COPD.

Methods

This was a single-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial. Individuals in the intervention group were given breathing exercise training and following the training, the patients received weekly exercise programmes. It was added as a control tally on the back page of the training booklet, and a phone call was made to the patients once a week for 12 weeks. No intervention was applied to the control group patients during the 12 weeks. The research report was structured according to CONSORT.

Results

There was a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest difference averages of the SF 36 Quality of Life Scale and the number of hospital readmissions of individuals with COPD in the intervention and control groups (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

It was determined that exercise training and 12-week teleconsultancy and home-based monitoring service applied to the intervention group patients increased the quality of life of individuals with COPD and reduced hospital readmissions.

远程咨询、家庭监护和运动对慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者再入院和生活质量的影响：一项随机对照试验

背景：慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者应定期进行锻炼，强调以家庭为基础的锻炼的重要性。目的本研究旨在探讨通过远程咨询进行家庭随访、咨询和运动训练对慢性阻塞性肺病患者再入院和生活质量的影响。方法采用单盲、随机对照临床试验。干预组的个体接受呼吸运动训练，训练结束后，患者每周接受锻炼计划。它被作为对照记录添加到培训手册的最后一页，并且每周给患者打一次电话，持续12周。对照组患者在12周内不进行干预。该研究报告是根据CONSORT编写的。结果干预组与对照组SF 36生活质量量表的测前、测后差异均值及COPD患者再入院次数比较，差异均有统计学意义（p < 0.05）。结论运动训练、12周远程咨询和家庭监测服务可提高COPD患者的生活质量，降低再入院率。
