Measuring Adherence to Pulmonary Rehabilitation: A Prospective Validation Study of the Dutch Version of the Rehabilitation Adherence Measure for Athletic Training (RAdMAT-NL).

Purpose: Measuring exercise adherence is important in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). For this, the Rehabilitation Adherence Measure for Athletic Training (RAdMAT) seems to be a promising instrument, and a Dutch version (RAdMAT-NL) is available. The aim of this study was to explore the dimensionality and construct validity of the RAdMAT-NL in patients with COPD.

Feasibility, effectiveness and safety of self-management in pulmonary rehabilitation: a study protocol using a hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation design.

Background: As population ageing accelerates worldwide, chronic diseases will place an increasing burden on society and healthcare systems. Self-management interventions may become a key strategy for addressing chronic disease burden and healthcare costs, also in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). One of the challenges here is long-term adherence.

Prognostic factors of adherence to home-based exercise therapy in patients with chronic diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Patients with a chronic disease may have an increased risk of non-adherence to prescribed home-based exercise therapy. We performed a systematic review with the aim to identify variables associated with adherence to home-based exercise therapy in patients with chronic diseases and to grade the quality of evidence for the association between these prognostic factors and adherence.

Methods: Cohort studies, cross-sectional studies and the experimental arm of randomized trials were identified using a search strategy applied to PubMed, Embase, PsychINFO and CINAHL from inception until August 1, 2022.

Development and Validation of a Multivariable Exercise Adherence Prediction Model for Patients with COPD: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Purpose: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is considered a cost-effective method of improving health-related quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, increasing demand and increasing costs of supply demands for sustainable and affordable care. One of the possible solutions to keep care affordable is self-management.
