Factors related to the implementation of pulmonary rehabilitation in Jordan: Perspective of healthcare professionals.

Background: Although the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in the management of chronic respiratory disease conditions (CRC) are well-documented, it remains underutilized. In Jordan, the scarcity of PR services denies those with CRC the opportunity to improve their functional capacity, mental health, and quality of life.

Objective: To explore the factors related to the implementation of PR in Jordan from the perspective of the healthcare professionals (HCPs).

Embedding a Behavior Change Program Designed to Reduce Sedentary Time Within a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program Is Feasible in People With COPD.

Purpose: This study examined the feasibility of embedding a 4-wk intervention, which sought to reduce sedentary time (SED), into a pulmonary rehabilitation program (PRP) in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Methods: This was an intervention study that comprised one face-to-face session and three follow-up visits. Primary outcomes related to feasibility and included adherence to data completion undertaken before and during the intervention period, participant satisfaction with the intervention (out of 100%), and participant achievement of intervention goals.

Psychometric Properties of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Assessing Self-Efficacy in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A Systematic Review.

This systematic review aimed to synthesize the evidence of the psychometric properties of self-efficacy patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE and other common databases from inception until September 2020. Studies that reported psychometric properties of self-efficacy outcome measures in COPD patients were included.

Reducing sedentary behavior in individuals with COPD: healthcare professionals' perspectives.

Background: Reducing sedentary behavior (SB) in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is being increasingly recognized as a novel health target. Understanding healthcare professionals (HCPs) behavior that influences a reduction in SB in this population could facilitate achieving this target.

Objective: To explore the determinants of behavior related to HCPs targeting a reduction in SB in people with COPD.

Determinants of Sedentary Behaviour in Individuals with COPD: A Qualitative Exploration Guided by the Theoretical Domains Framework.

In people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), there is increasing recognition that the prolonged accumulation of sedentary time (ST) is associated with adverse cardio-metabolic health outcomes. Nevertheless, changing this lifestyle, which has evolved over several decades, is likely to be challenging. This study reports the determinants, perceived by individuals with COPD, as being important for reducing ST.

"Let's Boogie": FEASIBILITY OF A DANCE INTERVENTION IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE.

Purpose: Exercise is an effective treatment for individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, lack of adherence to exercise programs is a common barrier. Innovative approaches to exercise are needed to increase patient engagement and adherence. Dance has been shown to benefit populations with neurological conditions.

Prevalence of osteoarthritis in individuals with COPD: a systematic review.

The objective of this review was to examine the prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) in individuals with COPD. A computer-based literature search of CINAHL, Medline, PsycINFO and Embase databases was performed. Studies reporting the prevalence of OA among a cohort of individuals with COPD were included.
