Abstract

Background. Patient education in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) combined with essential hypertension (EH) is pivotal in disease management, however, the effect of combined telephone patient education (TPE) remains questionable.Aim. To assess the effect of TPE on self-reported disease management, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with COPD and EH.Methods. 50 COPD and EH outpatients (aged 59.3±1.2 years) with equal sex distribution were recruitedfor baseline examination followed by randomization to initial training programme followed by monthly mobile telephone counseling for 6 months (N=25) and control group with no telephone follow-up. Self-reported exacerbation and hospitalizations; 6-minute walking distance test (6MWDT), CAT score, mMRC and SF-36 quality of life scores were primary outcomes.Results. Compared to controls, TPE patients had a lower hospitalizations for COPD score (0.16±0.07 vs. 0.32±0.11 at baseline); lower COPD exacerbations score (0.68±0.13 vs. 1.24±0.21); higher 6MWD (422.0±19.4 vs. 346.0±26.6 m), improvements in mMRC and CAT scores, and both physical and mental scores of quality of life metrics (p<0.05). Hospitalizations for EH did not change.Conclusions. Counseling of COPD comorbid with EH patients with telephone follow-up may be an effective tool for proper disease management, entailing quality of life, physical and mental functioning change.
