Effects of a Progressive Walking Program on Physical Activity, Exercise Tolerance, Recovery, and Post-Operative Complications in Patients with a Lung Resection

Abstract

연구의 필요성폐암은Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of a Progressive Walking program (PW) on physical activity, exercise tolerance, recovery, and post-operative complications for patients with a lung resection. Methods: A nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design was utilized and 37 participants with a lung resection (22 for control group, 15 for experimental group) were recruited at A university hospital from December 2012 to August 2013. The PW consisted of preoperative education, goal setting, and feedback, provided to the experimental group, and usual care to the control group. Data were analyzed using the SPSS WIN 18.0. Results: A higher proportion of patients in the experimental group showed adequate levels of physical activity (p= .001), shorter period of chest tube retention (≤ 7 days; p= .011), and shorter stay in the hospital (≤ 10 days; p= .036) than patients in the control group. Patients in the experimental group reported longer 6-minute walking distance (p= .032) and lower levels of dyspnea (p= .049) than patients in the control group. The PW did not influence the occurrence of pulmonary complications. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that the PW could be a useful strategy for improving patients' post-operative health and reducing cost after lung resection.

Effects of patient-based self-assessed fatigue intervention on early postoperative ambulation following gynaecological oncology surgery: a randomised controlled non-inferiority trial

“…The efficacy of a step-setting strategy in facilitating early ambulation received further validation in the work of Kim and Lee. 36 Moreover, guidelines 37 advocate for the establishment of a daily ambulation step count as a means to expedite gastrointestinal recovery and mitigate the risk of ileus. Several studies have employed electronic pedometers to track ambulation among patients undergoing abdominal and gynaecological surgeries, 28 38 with findings indicating a significant increase in early patient mobility.…”

“…This positive effect has also been described in other disciplines. Kim and Lee 17 reported that a postoperative walking program improved patients’ health and reduced costs after lung resection. Another study demonstrated that patients with impaired mobility had less improvement in weight‐related co‐morbidities after bariatric surgery 12 …”
