There has been limited study of yoga training as a complementary exercise strategy to manage the symptom dyspnea in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Background: People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) continue to experience dyspnea activities of daily living (ADL) despite optimal medical management. Information and communication technologies may facilitate collaborative symptom management could potentially increase the reach such interventions those who are unable attend face-to-face rehabilitation or self-management programs.
In 2009, the American Thoracic Society (ATS) funded an assembly project, Palliative Management of Dyspnea Crisis, to focus on identification, management, and optimal resource utilization for effective palliation acute episodes dyspnea. We conducted a comprehensive search medical literature evaluated available evidence from systematic evidence-based reviews (SEBRs) using modified AMSTAR approach then summarized palliative management knowledge base participants use in discourse at 2009 ATS...
Heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are highly prevalent associated with a large symptom burden, that is compounded in dual HF-COPD diagnosis. Yoga has potential benefit for relief; however functional impairment hinders access to usual yoga classes. We developed Tele-Yoga intervention evaluated it controlled pilot trial. This paper reports on the appropriateness acceptability of evaluation design.
Test the feasibility and clinical outcomes of a home-based videoconferencing yoga intervention in participants diagnosed with both Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) heart failure (HF).Yoga has potential benefit for symptom relief COPD HF; however, functional impairment transportation issues can hinder access to typical classes.A controlled, nonrandomized trial was conducted an 8-week TeleYoga versus educational control (information leaflets mailed one weekly phone call). One-hour...
Background: Expert communication skills are essential for the delivery of effective palliative care across domains care. However, few health providers receive formal training. To promote education interdisciplinary teams, a train-the-trainer course hospital-based teams was developed to prepare them teach other professionals skills. Course Design: The curriculum organized by eight National Consensus Project Guidelines Quality Palliative Care and provided training California-based teams....
Recruitment and retention are two significant barriers in research, particularly for historically underrepresented groups, including racial ethnic minorities, patients who low-income, or people with substance use mental health issues. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death disproportionately affects many groups. The lack representation these groups research limits generalizability applicability clinical results. In this paper we describe our...
Abstract The primary purpose of this secondary analysis was to determine whether 103 participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease rated the affective dimension dyspnea (dyspnea‐related anxiety and dyspnea‐related distress) separately from sensory (intensity) during baseline exercise testing conducted as part a randomized clinical trial. A if distress were distinctly different other measurements anxiety. At end 6‐minute walk an incremental treadmill test, participant ratings...
Socioeconomically disadvantaged patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often face barriers to evidence-based care that are difficult address in public settings limited resources.
In Brief PURPOSE: To evaluate the differences in long-term outcomes of dyspnea, exercise performance, health-related quality life, and health resource utilization following a dyspnea self-management program with 3 different "doses" supervised exercise. PATIENTS AND METHODS: prospective, randomized, single-blind, 1-year trial, patients stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (N = 103; age 66 ± 8, females 57; FEV1 44.8% 14% predicted) were randomly assigned to either: (1) Dyspnea (DM);...
Background: Communication training is a hallmark of palliative care education. The purpose this article to report on the development, exploratory outcomes, and lessons learned from pilot project, "TeamTalk," which adapted VitalTalk methodology for interprofessional learners. Materials Methods: TeamTalk included series interactive workshops led by an faculty team at health sciences university. Teaching methods were small group discussion, reflection, high-fidelity simulated patient/family...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive, life-limiting illness that requires end-of-life care planning, yet remains under-served. Understanding barriers to advance planning (ACP) from different specialties' perspectives will enable co-ordinated, cross-disciplinary approach improving ACP access.Australia and New Zealand palliative nurses were invited complete an anonymous online cross-sectional survey. Questions tested knowledge of validated ACP-related practice...
