Community pulmonary rehabilitation after hospitalisation for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Randomised controlled study
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: Community-based care, Outpatient care (hospital) Professionals delivering the intervention: Dietician/nutritionist, Educator, Nurses, Ocuppational therapist, Peer, Pharmacists, Physicians, Physiotherapists, Social worker Targeted self-management behaviours: Eating behaviours, Physical activity /exercise, Smoking cessation or reduction
Components
Education (E)
Education (E)
Sharing information. This form of support consists in sharing of information about self-management topics like coping with symptoms, diet, exercise, medication, information about what other people are doing, and information about the disease itself, or about any other relevant aspects that could lead to improved self-management, and ultimately better health. This information can be told or distributed in printed materials like a folder or workbook, or via website or DVD.
Examples: Educational session on healthy eating for people with obesity, provision of a printed leaflet on the importance of foot care in diabetes, or a link to a website with information on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease care.
Emotional-based change techniques (EB)
Emotional-based change techniques (EB)
There are different emotional-based behavioural change techniques:
Stress and/or emotional management. This technique consists in helping you to understand the role of stress and emotions and teaching them to use different coping strategies to manage, for example, stress and painful emotions caused by your disease.
Examples: Mindfulness, exercise, stretching, listening to music, deep breathing, or meditation.
Coaching and motivational interviewing. This kind of support helps you to change behaviours by looking what’s important to you, and then offering support, taking into account your needs and preferences. One provider (healthcare professional, peer or lay person) is usually your coach. Motivational interviewing and counselling are included, as well as collaborative conversations with a practitioner, helping with motivation and commitment, minimizing resistance, and resolve ambivalence to change.
Examples: coaching sessions led by a nurse to ease the transition from hospital to home, or rehabilitation programs using coaching methods.
Peers (P)
Peers (P)
The intervention is carried out by peers, people who have experienced living with the same disease or by lay people living in your community. Rather than involving just health professionals or educators, the intervention involves one or more peers who take on a role in the teaching and/or providing information about the intervention.
Examples: Training and teaching activities provided by peers to guide people with a related health care concern, to adopt a new behaviour that would facilitate healthy outcomes.
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.
