“…The spirometric findings of our current study are consistent with Cilekar et al’s findings [ 42 ], as they reported an increase in spirometric parameters after a 6-week PR programme. These findings support the conception that COPD is associated with respiratory and generalized manifestations and that aerobic training programmes may produce great augmentation in skeletal muscle function (both respiratory giving improvement in pulmonary functions as well as peripheral muscles giving improvements in their functional performance) [ 43 ].…”

Background Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is crucial in managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and enhancing functional capacity and health status. Oxygen therapy and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) may be needed to be incorporated into rehabilitation to augment the effectiveness of physical training. Objectives To compare and assess the impact of the PR programme alone and with augmentation with O 2 or NIV on COPD patients. Methods Seventy-five COPD patients were equally divided into three groups: group 1 patients performed 8 week-PR programme only. Group 2 performed the PR programme while receiving O 2 . Group 3 completed the PR programme plus NIV. Modified Borg scale, VO 2 max, modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, 6-minute walk test, COPD assessment test score, spirometric measures and arterial blood gases were assessed before and after the programme. Results The outcome measurements showed meaningful improvement compared with the baseline in the three studied groups. However, VO 2 max in group 3 showed higher significant improvement than both groups 1 and 2. Regarding 6-minute walk test, groups 2 and 3 had a higher significant improvement than group 1. COPD assessment test score in group 3 showed higher significant improvement than groups 1 and 2. Arterial blood gases in groups 2 and 3 showed significant increase in partial pressure of arterial oxygen and arterial oxygen saturation, but group 3 only had a significant decrease in PaCO 2 . Conclusion O 2 supplementation and NIV help severe to very severe COPD patients to perform higher exercise intensity, so they augment the benefits of PR.

“…The results of this study corroborated that the pulmonary rehabilitation program could improve the QoL of patients with COPD. In this regard, the results of a study by Cilekar et al (39) in Turkey showed that low-intensity pulmonary rehabilitation was effective on exercise capacity, shortness of breath, walking distance, and QoL in patients with stable COPD. Zhang et al (40) noted that deploying rehabilitation training to treat stable COPD improves pulmonary function, motor function, and QoL; hence, it should be considered in clinical practice.…”

The Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Fatigue and Quality of Life in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Quasi-Experimental Study

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a debilitating condition. Those with COPD often complain about fatigue, which can negatively affect activities of daily living, and consequently, the quality of life (QoL). Objectives: This study aimed at determining the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation on fatigue and QoL in patients with COPD. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on 40 eligible patients with COPD admitted to two teaching hospitals in Zahedan in 2018 - 2019. The subjects were randomized into the experimental (n = 20) and control (n = 20) groups based on convenience sampling. Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire, St George’s Respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ), and the Multidimensional Fatigue inventory (MFI). The QoL and fatigue in both groups were initially measured through interviews. For three consecutive days, patients in the experimental group received three 30-45-min face-to-face training sessions. The pulmonary rehabilitation program was conducted on patients’ bedsides and included theoretical and practical dimensions. Additionally, after necessary coordination with the patients and their families, a summary session was held at patients’ homes. The control group received no training, except for routine care. At the end of the eighth week, the researchers made telephone contact with the two groups (patients or their families) and visited them at their home to complete the SGRQ and MFI. Data were analyzed using SPSS and descriptive and analytical tests (independent t-test, paired t-test, and chi-squared test) at the significance level of less than 0.05. Results: The mean score of changes in QoL was 21.75 ± 7.06 in the experimental group and -1.93 ± 4.70 in the control group. The results of the paired t-test indicated that the mean score of QoL in the experimental group in the post-test was significantly different compared with the baseline (P = 0.001). Moreover, the mean score of changes in fatigue was 35.65 ± 7.12 in the experimental group and 3.25 ± 144 in the control group. In this regard, the paired t-test results showed that the mean fatigue score of patients in the experimental group in the post-test was significantly different compared with the baseline (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Pulmonary rehabilitation program reduced fatigue and improved QoL in patients with COPD. Therefore, it is suggested to consider this program in the care plan of these people.
