研究概览
简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate asthma patients' experiences with an 8 week IMT and the perceived effects of this intervention on physical activity, coping strategies, and asthma self-management. A qualitative methodological design will be applied to understand the experiences of patients participating in the IMT program, how the program affected their daily activities, how they coped with symptoms and difficulties, and how they managed their condition.
详细描述
The study will include patients diagnosed with asthma by a chest disease specialist and referred for pulmonary rehabilitation. Cases meeting the inclusion criteria will be questioned about the effects of their previous experience with COPD on their daily lives, their coping strategies, and their self-management processes. Therefore, it is determined as a basic criterion that participants have received IMT training for 8 weeks, 2 days a week via video conference and 1 day within the home program, for a total of 3 days a week. IMT should be performed in 7 sets, consisting of 2 minutes of work and 1 minute of rest, for a total of 21 minutes. Five main themes were identified as a result of data analysis. (a) Inspiratory Muscle Training and Participant Experiences (b) Experience of Exercising with Telerehabilitation (c) Changes in Physical Activity Levels (d) Self-Management Skills and (e) Coping Strategies.

结局指标
主要结局
Patient-reported experiences of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) assessed by semi-structured in-depth interviews (study-specific interview guide)
时间窗: Single assessment after completion of the 8-week IMT program (within 4 weeks after IMT completion)
Semi-structured, in-depth, audio-recorded interviews will be conducted using a study-specific interview guide containing open-ended questions to investigate the effect of an 8-week inspiratory muscle training (IMT) program on the experiences of adults with severe persistent asthma. Interviews will be conducted online and, when possible, in person or via telephone/video call. Interviews are expected to last approximately 45-60 minutes. Recordings will be transcribed verbatim in Turkish, supplemented with the researcher's field notes, and analyzed using thematic analysis.
Self-management skills assessed by semi-structured in-depth interviews (study-specific interview guide)
时间窗: Single assessment after completion of the 8-week IMT program (within 4 weeks after IMT completion)
Semi-structured, in-depth, audio-recorded interviews will be conducted using a study-specific interview guide with open-ended questions to explore participants' perceived self-management skills, including disease and trigger recognition, symptom monitoring, accountability/responsibility, and perceived control. Interviews will be conducted online and, when possible, in person or via telephone/video call. Interviews are expected to last approximately 45-60 minutes. Recordings will be transcribed verbatim in Turkish, supplemented with the researcher's field notes, and analyzed using thematic analysis.
Experience of exercising using telerehabilitation assessed by semi-structured in-depth interviews (study-specific interview guide)
时间窗: Single assessment after completion of the 8-week IMT program (within 4 weeks after IMT completion)
Semi-structured, in-depth, audio-recorded interviews will be conducted using a study-specific interview guide with open-ended questions to explore participants' experiences of exercising with telerehabilitation, including the perceived role of telerehabilitation in the learning process, and perceived advantages, limitations, and challenges from the participant's perspective. Interviews will be conducted online and, when possible, in person or via telephone/video call. Interviews are expected to last approximately 45-60 minutes. Recordings will be transcribed verbatim in Turkish, supplemented with the researcher's field notes, and analyzed using thematic analysis.
Changes in physical activity in daily life assessed by semi-structured in-depth interviews (study-specific interview guide)
时间窗: Single assessment after completion of the 8-week IMT program (within 4 weeks after IMT completion)
Semi-structured, in-depth, audio-recorded interviews will be conducted using a study-specific interview guide with open-ended questions to explore perceived changes in physical activity in daily life (e.g., walking, climbing stairs, housework) from the participant's perspective following the 8-week program. Interviews will be conducted online and, when possible, in person or via telephone/video call. Interviews are expected to last approximately 45-60 minutes.

Coping strategies assessed by semi-structured in-depth interviews (study-specific interview guide)
时间窗: Single assessment after completion of the 8-week IMT program (within 4 weeks after IMT completion)
Semi-structured, in-depth, audio-recorded interviews will be conducted using a study-specific interview guide with open-ended questions to explore participants' perceived coping strategies, including breathing/respiratory rate control strategies and emotional and behavioral regulation during symptom attacks and when anxiety/panic symptoms are prominent.
