Tai chi Qigong improves lung functions and activity tolerance in COPD clients: a single blind, randomized controlled trial
See more Setting of implementation: Outpatient care (hospital) Professionals delivering the intervention: N/A Targeted self-management behaviours: N/A
Components
Individual sessions
A single person receives the self-management support. Examples: self-guided actions (without the participation of any other person) during a clinical visit or within the context of a support or educational session
Face-to-face
Self-management support delivered in a face-to-face encounter between the providers and patients and/or caregivers.
See more Setting of implementation: Outpatient care (hospital) Professionals delivering the intervention: Qualified Instructor Targeted self-management behaviours: Handling /managing emotions, Physical activity /exercise, Self-monitoring
Components
Education (E)
Monitoring techniques (MT)
Emotional-based change techniques (EB)
In group
Two or more patients or caregivers receive a self-management intervention. Group interventions are normally organized for efficiency purposes or to facilitate learning and knowledge exchange among peers (people living with the same health condition). For example, peer-led education group to enhance physical activity in obese individuals.
Face-to-face
Self-management support delivered in a face-to-face encounter between the providers and patients and/or caregivers.
