Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to gather information on the effectiveness on a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with bronchiectasis.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to gather information on the effectiveness on a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with bronchiectasis. We hope that by participating in home-rehab that patients with bronchiectasis will become more physically active in their daily lives.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation in a medical center has proven to have a positive impact on physical activity and shortness of breath in patients with chronic lung disease. However, travel and access can make going to a center difficult.
Study participation involves completing gentle flexibility exercises and walking practice using a provided computer tablet, pulse oximeter and an activity tracker for 12 weeks. During that time, you will talk to a health coach once a week on the phone. At the end of the 12 weeks, someone will call you and ask you questions about your experience with the home-based rehab. Health Coaching calls will be recorded so that it can later be transcribed. All identifying information will be removed and the answers will be lumped together.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in patient-reported quality of life
Time Frame: Baseline, after completion of the 12-week intervention.
As defined by the COPD Assessment Test (CAT). The CAT is a validated tool for measuring health status in patients with bronchiectasis and is divided into eight domains of cough, mucous production, chest tightness, shortness of breath with activity, activity limitation at home, confidence leaving home, sleep quality, and energy. A lower score suggests no health-related quality of life (HRQL) impairment, while the maximum score of 40 represents significant impact.
Secondary Outcomes
- Physical activity(12 weeks)
