简要总结
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic condition involving an impairment in functionality and in the execution of activities of daily life. The hypothesis of this study is that an occupational therapy intervention added to a physiotherapy program and a medical treatment increase the functionality and the quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
详细描述
The evolution of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can be aggravated in some periods by an increase of the symptoms (above all, the cough, the dyspnea and the quantity of sputum purulence). This is known as exacerbation, and it is the most frequent reason for hospital stay, urgences services and death in this condition. A physiotherapy program and an occupational therapy intervention are carrying out in patients attending to the Hospital because of an exacerbation.. Participants will be assessed at baseline and again at the end of the study.

结局指标
主要结局
Functionality
时间窗: Baseline, 12 months
Change from baseline to postintervention on functionality. This is assessed using two measures: the Functional Independence Measure and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. A follow-up is going to be performed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the occupational therapy intervention.
Quality of life
时间窗: Baseline, 12months
Changes from baseline to postintervention in quality of life. It is assessed using two questionnaires, the EuroQoL-5D questionnaire and the Health Questionnaire St. George. A follow-up is going to be performed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment.
次要结局
- Anxiety and depression(Baseline, 12 months)
- Activity levels(Baseline, 12 months)
- Dyspnoea(baseline, 12 months)
