Abstract

Aim: to study the impact of the educational program on clinical course, indexes of ventilation, exercise capacity and quality of life of COPD patients.
Material and methods: 136 patients with COPD II stage, average age of 53,8±11,4 were assigned to the following: intensity of clinical signs and FEV1%. Exercise capacity is assessed by the six minutes test with walking (6MWDT). Quality of life was assessed by the general and specific questionnaires (SF-36, AQ20). Intervention group consisted of 71 patients and 65 patients were in a control group. This intervention was based on the rehabilitation program with the patient education component. As a result of the activity, the patients mastered skills for self-management of the disease. The test was repeated in 12 month after the preliminary examination.
Results: Under the impact of the rehabilitation program with the patient educational component, the intervention patients group showed the reduction of the intensity of the clinical symptoms (p<0,05) and also increase of FEV1% (Δ-3,6%; p<0,001). The following indexes are improved as: social activity (+22,3%; p<0,05), physical (+34,6%; p<0,05) and emotional (43,1%; p<0,05) functioning, mental status of patients (16,3%; p<0,05). Exercise capacity increased by 17,2% (p<0,001).
Conclusion: COPD Patients‘ Rehabilitation Program with Patient Educational Component is effective intervention methods, which impacts positively on the disease clinical course, the ventilation characteristics, exercise capacity and on the quality of life of the COPD patients.
