Benefits of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program for patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
See more Setting of implementation: Home-care, Outpatient care (hospital) Professionals delivering the intervention: Physiotherapists Targeted self-management behaviours: Condition-specific behaviours, Self-monitoring
Components
Education (E)
Monitoring techniques (MT)
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.
