简要总结
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is increasing in the Netherlands. COPD is characterized by a deterioration of lung function, a lowering physical activity level and a low state of quality of life.
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the effects of a structured lifestyle program compared with usual care (in the first, second and third echelon) on the physical activity level of COPD patients.
150 COPD patients (GOLD I-IV) will be included, aged between 40 and 80 years. In each echelon 25 patients will participate in a structured lifestyle program and 25 patients will be treated with usual care.
In the structured lifestyle program, patients will be stimulated individually to enhance a physically active lifestyle. The primary outcome parameter is daily physical activity (steps/ day) assessed with a pedometer.
According to the study protocol patients in the experimental group and the control group participate in four measurement sessions distributed over 15 months. In each assessment a physical fitness test, lung function and questionnaires are taken. Patients of the experimental group participate in five individual counseling sessions and one telephonic counseling.
详细描述
Background of the study: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is increasing in the Netherlands. The incidence of COPD is about 2-3 per 1000 and the prevalence of 12-19 per 1000 patients in the Dutch primary health care. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that its prevalence in 2020 will be on the fourth rank of death and the fifth rank of causes of disability-adjusted life years lost worldwide. COPD is characterized by a deterioration of lung function, a lowering physical activity level and a low state of quality of life.
Objective of the study: The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of a structured lifestyle program (in the first, second and third echelon) on the physical activity level of COPD patients
Study design: It concerns a randomized controlled study. In this study a structured lifestyle program will be compared with usual care in the first, second and third echelon of the health care.
Study population: 150 COPD patients (GOLD I-IV) will be included, aged between 40 and 80 years. In each echelon 25 patients will participate in a structured lifestyle program and 25 patients will be treated with usual care.
Intervention: A structured lifestyle program, based on the COACH method, will be used. This method was developed by the Institute of Human Movement Sciences of the University of Groningen (RUG). Using COACH, patients will be stimulated individually to enhance a physically active lifestyle.
