About this study

Official title: Increasing Adherence to Pulmonary Rehabilitation After COPD Related Hospitalizations

This pilot study will look at investigating barriers, facilitators, adherence and effectiveness of an interactive home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program and health coaching for patients who have recently been hospitalized for a COPD related cause.

Read the detailed description

Despite proven benefits, the proportion of people with COPD who receive Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is very small. The current model of a center-based PR program fails to address the needs of many patients with COPD. The most common patient barrier to attendance is travel to center-based programs, particularly for frail patients with more severe COPD who need transportation assistance. Home-based, unsupervised PR has been proposed as an alternative model to hospital-based programs and has been found to be safe and effective.

In this pilot study researchers will investigate barriers, facilitators and adherence to a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program after hospitalization. The results of this pilot study will inform the second part of this study as a randomized control study under a different grant (Study 2/R33). Both quantitative and qualitative methods will be used for the evaluation.

10 patients will be enrolled in this pilot study and allocated to a home-based PR in order to polish the intervention before the randomized portion of the study. This pilot is supported by a grant mechanism (R61) explicitly oriented to adjust the intervention and identify barriers for the next randomized portion of this study (Study 2) supported by a separate grant mechanism (R33).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intervention- Home-based Pulmonary RehabilitationBehavioural

    Home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) with health coaching using a remote system that will allow patients to complete PR at home. The program involves upper and lower extremity exercises, self-report of symptoms (fatigue, breathlessness, physical activity and overall well-being).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Adherence to One Balance Practice Routine

    Percentage of participants to adhere to one balance practice routine per day for 6 out of the 7 days for 12 weeks prescribed via the interactive home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program

    Measured: Baseline to 3 months

  2. Adherence to Two Balance Practice Routine

    Percentage of participants to adhere to two balance practices routine per day for 6 out of the 7 days for 12 weeks prescribed via the interactive home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program

    Measured: Baseline to 3 months

  3. Adherence to Daily Flexible Practice Routine

    Percentage of participants to adhere to the daily flexible practice routine for 6 out of the 7 days for 12 weeks prescribed via the interactive home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program

    Measured: Baseline to 3 months

  4. Completion of the Daily Self-assessment

    Percentage of participants to complete the daily self-assessment for 6 out of the 7 days for 12 weeks via the interactive home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program

    Measured: Baseline to 3 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ) Physical Symptoms Summary

    The CRQ is a 20-question inventory assessing the areas of health related quality of life in dyspnea (shortness of breath), fatigue, emotion, and feelings of mastery of chronic respiratory disease. The Physical Summary score includes dyspnea (symptom #1 in COPD) and fatigue (symptom #2 in COPD) domains. The questions in each domain are added together and then divided by the number of questions. The possible range is 1-7, where 1 is the worst and 7 the best.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months

  2. Change in Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ) Emotional Symptoms Summary

    The CRQ Emotion Summary score includes the emotion (independent factor for admissions and poor quality of life) and mastery (self-management) domains of the CRQ. The scores for each domain are calculated by simply added together the answers and then dividing by the number of questions, the range is 1-7 where 1 is the worst and 7 the best.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months

  3. Daily Physical Activity

    Average number of steps per day recorded by ActiGraph activity monitor worn on the wrist for seven days at 3 months

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Change in the Self-Management Ability Scale (SMAS) Total Score

    Measured using the total score from the self-reported SMAS 30 item questionnaire that measures ability and function. A higher score indicates more ability and function in everyday life. The SMAS30 has six areas, each with 5 questions. The minimum score is one and the max is 5. The mean is calculated for each section. A higher score indicates better self management.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months

  5. Change in Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2)

    Measured using the self-reported PHQ-2 consisting of a 2 item questionnaire inquiring about the frequency of depressed mood over the past 2 weeks on a scale of 0 to 3, 0=Not at all, 1=several days, 2=more than half the days, 3=nearly everyday. The minimum score is zero and the highest score is 6. A score greater than 3 may indicate depression.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intervention- Home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation in people with COPD Exacerbation, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adherence to One Balance Practice Routine (time frame: Baseline to 3 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
