Home-based rehabilitation for COPD using minimal resources: A randomised, controlled equivalence trial
Author: Holland, A. E.
Country/countries: Australia
Number of patients participating in the study: 166
This study was focused on patients living with COPD
Intervention analysed in the study: Monitoring, action-based and emotional-based behavioural techniques
Intervention components: E+MT+AB+EB
See more Setting of implementation: Home-care Professionals delivering the intervention: Physiotherapists Targeted self-management behaviours: Condition-specific behaviours, Physical activity /exercise, Self-monitoring

Components
Education (E)
Monitoring techniques (MT)
Action-based behavioural change techniques (AB)
Emotional-based change techniques (EB)
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.
Intervention analysed in the study: Action-based behavioural techniques delivered in groups
Intervention components: E+AB+G

Action-based behavioural change techniques (AB)
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.
