Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Quality of LifeBaseline, 3 months

The Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ) is a validated tool, completed by participants at baseline and 3 months and measured health-related quality of life. This questionnaire measures both physical and emotional aspects of chronic respiratory disease. All scores have a range of 1 to 7, a higher number being better health-related quality of life. We reported the difference between baseline and 3 months on the CRQ emotional summary score (comprised of the mastery and emotional domains) and the physical summary score (comprised of dyspnea and fatigue domains). 0.5 points is the minimal clinically important difference for this tool.

The change in average daily activity (measured in minutes) for the top 3 to 5 most active days during the measured period. Measured by the Actigraph GT3X .

Meaning in LifeBaseline, 3 months

Meaning in Life Questionnaire- 10 item questionnaire measuring the purpose, meaning and presence in life. A higher score indicates a perception of higher meaning and purpose. Scores range from 10-70, a higher score indicates a high perceived meaning and purpose in the respondents life.
