Download or read book Adherence to Exercise Following Pulmonary Rehabilitation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease written by Pia Bantegui Santiago and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive, debilitating and irreversible condition characterized by dyspnea or breathlessness upon exertion. Comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation, which includes exercise training, has been shown to improve exercise tolerance, health-related quality of life and dyspnea. Long-term studies of rehabilitation outcomes show that these benefits tend to diminish over time. This study of patients in a pulmonary rehabilitation program examined (1) the physical and psychological factors related to exercise maintenance and (2) the role of exercise maintenance on long-term functional outcomes. One hundred sixty-four patients with chronic lung disease completed an 8-week rehabilitation program and were randomized to a 12-month maintenance program (n = 83) or a standard care condition (n = 81). Assessments of exercise, health-related quality of life (Quality of Well-Being Scale), dyspnea (UCSD Shortness of Breath Questionnaire and Dyspnea Scale of the Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire), exercise tolerance (6-minute walk test and Perceived Breathlessness), depression (CES-D), self-efficacy for walking, and disease severity were taken at pre- and post-rehabilitation, and at 6, 12, 24 months and 5-8 years after completing rehabilitation. Results show that the maintenance intervention did not prevent attrition from exercise as walking declined similarly across both groups by 24 months after rehabilitation. Patients in the maintenance condition, on average, walked 90 minutes per week during the 12-month intervention. Hierarchical regression analyses show that disease severity at post-rehabilitation was a statistically significant and unique predictor of overall exercise adherence during the 12 months following rehabilitation after controlling for health care utilization, age, and self-efficacy for walking. Patients with higher exercise participation had maintained better levels of self-efficacy, tolerance for dyspnea, and dyspnea during activities of daily living by 12 months after rehabilitation as compared to those who walked less. Findings support the presence of a relationship between health status and exercise maintenance among patients who complete pulmonary rehabilitation. Exercise maintenance in the form of walking may play an important role in the long-term outcomes of pulmonary rehabilitation for some patients. Maintenance interventions including regular medical follow-up need to be tailored to the patient's health status to further optimize long-term benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation.

Spruit and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a Ph.D. dissertation. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases. Clinically, it is characterized by complaints of cough, sputum production, and/or dyspnoea, and diagnosed by a significantly reduced Tiffeneau index. It was the fourth leading cause of death in the United States in 1996, exceeded only by heart attacks, cancers and stroke. Hence, COPD is a major global health problem and its burden on society is growing rapidly. For these reasons, COPD was chosen as a study population in the present project.

Download or read book Self Efficacy Expectancies in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Rehabilitation written by Michelle Toshiko Toshima and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background. Self efficacy theory evolved from cognitive social learning theory. Self efficacy is receiving increasing recognition as a predictor of health behavior change and maintenance. The role of self efficacy in the rehabilitation of adult patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was examined as part of an ongoing prospective study of one hundred nineteen COPD patients. Methods. The patients were randomly assigned to either a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program or to an education control group. Each program lasted two months. Patients were evaluated on pulmonary function tests, exercise tests, treadmill endurance walks, and psychosocial measures prior to the intervention, immediately following the intervention, and one year after the start of the program. The treadmill endurance walk and the psychosocial measures were also administered six months after the start of the program. Self efficacy was measured using a questionnaire that evaluated expectancies to engage in a series of specific activities that reflect the functional disabilities often associated with COPD. Results. A series of studies provided some evidence for the validity of the self efficacy construct. As predicted, self efficacy expectations were systematically and significantly correlated with both pulmonary function and exercise test variables. Following the intervention, the rehabilitation patients demonstrated non-significant increases in self efficacy expectations for walking, despite significantly improved treadmill performance. In addition, the modest enhancement of self efficacy for walking did not generalize to other similar behaviors. There were, however, significant differences between the two groups on subjective ratings of breathlessness and fatigue following the treadmill endurance test. There was a significant linear relationship between initial efficacy for walking and actual treadmill performance, with patients high in efficacy demonstrating greater endurance on the treadmill. A two x three analysis of variance demonstrated that changes in efficacy expectations were also influenced by group assignment with demonstrated main effects for group and self efficacy for walking. Although self efficacy expectancies predicted actual treadmill performance, they did not predict other health status outcomes. Conclusions. The findings provide mixed support for the usefulness of the self efficacy construct in understanding health behavior change in COPD patients. The data raise some questions about the functional relationship between successful performance experiences and enhancement of self efficacy expectations. Further investigations into self efficacy expectancies in more seriously ill patients is needed.

Download or read book A COPD Primer written by Ralph Panos and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2012 we received a grant from the Veterans Health Administration Office of Specialty Care entitled, “Patient-Centered Model for the Management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.” The grant’s goals were to enhance the recognition and diagnosis of COPD and implement a Patient-Centered Model for the Management of COPD. As the work on that proposal progressed, we realized that providers did not have an up-to-date, comprehensive, easily read, “how to” manual for the management of COPD despite all the advances in COPD care that have occurred over the past 5 years. Consensus documents such as the VA-DOD Guidelines were abbreviated summaries that were rarely used. From those discussions, the concept for this volume, a COPD Primer, developed. The goal was to develop a practical book that concisely presented COPD to providers with sufficient background and explanation of the physiologic and scientific rationale for various management strategies without becoming an esoteric academic work. We hope that this COPD Primer has achieved that goal and will be a useful, practical text for practitioners and medical trainees alike. The COPD Primer begins with an examination of what COPD is; it is really a syndrome, a constellation of historical features and clinical, physiologic, and radiographic findings. However, those elements come together in many different ways to create multiple different COPD phenotypes that are only now being recognized and used to define specific management strategies. COPD research has progressed beyond the simple classification of “blue bloaters” and “pink puffers.” Next, the epidemiology and economic consequences of COPD are reviewed. Bill Eschenbacher presents an approach to the patient with respiratory symptoms with detailed discussions of pulmonary function testing and how airflow limitation/obstruction is identified by spirometry and the use of lung imaging to identify individuals with COPD. Michael Borchers and Gregory Motz summarize current evidence implicating genetics, proteolytic imbalance, oxidative stress, inflammation, occupational and environmental exposures, and innate and adaptive immune function in the pathogenesis of COPD and the implication of these findings to future treatments. The single most important intervention in the prevention and treatment of COPD is smoking cessation. Shari Altum, Katherine Butler, and Rachel Juran present a practical approach to smoking cessation utilizing motivational interviewing in combination with pharmacologic interventions. Then, they expand upon these concepts to provide practitioners with convenient, realistic suggestions to encourage patient self-management in all aspects of COPD care and overall health. Ahsan Zafar reviews the natural history, recently described COPD phenotypes, and gender differences that clearly illustrate the broad spectrum of disease that comprises the term, COPD. The cover illustration highlights Dr. Zafar’s creative and artistic talents. The extensive nonpulmonary aspects of COPD are reviewed by Ralph Panos in an examination of COPD’s multi-organ manifestations. Next, the effect of COPD on sleep and the overlap syndrome, the concurrence of COPD and obstructive sleep apnea, and its consequences are presented. Jean Elwing examines the effect of COPD on the pulmonary vasculature with a detailed discussion of the evaluation and management of pulmonary hypertension associated with COPD. COPD’s effects on psychosocial functioning and familial interactions are presented by Mary Panos and Ralph Panos. The focus of the Primer then shifts from manifestations to treatment with a discussion of stable COPD management. With the current plethora of devices for delivering respiratory medications, it is difficult for both patients and providers to sustain knowledge of their proper use. Aaron Mulhall presents a practical guide to correct inhaler use that reviews all the current devices. Folarin Sogbetun then reviews the management of outpatient COPD exacerbations and Nishant Gupta discusses the approach to the patient hospitalized with COPD. Because patients with COPD often see multiple subspecialty physicians in addition to their primary care providers, interdisciplinary communication and coordination of care is essential for their management; Sara Krzywkowski-Mohn reviews the interactions between primary and specialty care for the patient with COPD with suggestions for improved communication and care coordination. Finally, advance care planning including palliative care and hospice is reviewed with a discussion of how end stage COPD affects not only the patient but also their family and social network. This COPD Primer incorporates the knowledge that we have learned over the past several years during the development and implementation of a patient-centered model for the management of COPD. It was written with the explicit goal of assisting both the practicing provider and medical trainee in the care of patients with COPD.
