BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK INTRODUCTION Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease refers to several disorders that affect the movement of air in and out of the Lungs although, the most important of these obstructive, bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma-may occur in pure form, they most commonly coexist, with overlapping clinical manifestations. The term COPD is commonly used, but some pulmonologist think it is not completely accurate and the term chronic air flow limitations may be used in it place.1 COPD can occurs as a result of increased airway resistance secondary to bronchial mucosal edema or smooth muscle contraction. It may also be a result of decreased elastic recoil, as seen in emphysema. Elastic recoil, similar to the recoil of a stretched rubber band, is the force. Used in passively to deflate the lung and eschale, decreased, elastic recoil results in a decreased driving force to empty the lung.2 COPD Modern and effective pulmonary rehabilitation programs are global, multidisciplinary, individualized and use comprehensive approach acting on the patient as a whole and not only on the pulmonary component of the disease. In the last two decades interest for pulmonary rehabilitation is on the rise and a growing literature including several guidelines is now available. This review addresses the recent developments in the broad area of pulmonary rehabilitation as well as new methods to consider in the development of future and better programs. Modern literature for rationale, physiopathological basis, structure, exercise training as well challenges for pulmonary rehabilitation programs are addressed. Among the main challenges of pulmonary rehabilitation, efforts have to be devoted to improve accessibility to early 4 rehabilitation strategies, not only to patients with COPD but to those with other chronic respiratory diseases.3 COPD mainly occurs due to environmental pollution, industrialization, smoking tobacco, mining and mill dust exposure, overcrowding. Allisan and Susans (1999) describes that the chronic nature of the illness lead an individual to lose control over his own life and they become dependent and experience low esteem and social isolation which affects their quality of life.4 Exercise improves the oxygen utilization, work capacity and state of mind of COPD patients. Some patients may also benefit from exercise programs that target upper body and are designed to increase strength of the respiratory muscles. Several methods have been investigated, standardized, and prescribed for respiratory exercise. Deep breathing is considered as one such method. Breathing exercise help the patient during rest and activity, and it reduces the respiratory muscle fatigue and decrease dyspnea, anxiety, panic attacks and enable the patient to better cope up with life. The main type of breathing exercise is pursed lip breathing and diaphragmatic breathing exercise. As a sum, breathing exercises improve the sense of well being of patients.1 Chronic Pulmonary Disease poses enormous burdens to society both in terms of direct cost of health care services and indirect costs to society through loss of productivity. The exact prevalence of Bronchial Asthma is difficult to determine because of problems with definition and coding. Despite the high prevalence and enormous cost to health care and society. Bronchial Asthma is thought of as a self inflicted disease and affects more elderly people. Bronchial Asthma is not such an obvious killer like lung cancer therefore receives a less emotive response.5 5 Among the respiratory diseases COPD is the common test disease. Chronic obstructive lung disease is a general term that refers to number of chronic pulmonary condition, the main disease include chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma and emphysema. Bronchial Asthma encompasses chronic obstructive bronchitis with obstruction of small airways, with enlargement of air spaces and destruction of lung parenchyma, loss of lung elasticity and closure of small airways, Black M Joyce (2001).6 Incentive Spiro meter also known as sustained maximal inspiration (SMI) is a component of bronchial hygiene therapy. Incentive Spiro meter is designed to mimic natural sighing or yawning and it also helps the patient to take long, slow deep breaths. This is accomplished by using a device that provides patients with visual or other positive feedback the patient inhale at a flow rate or volume and sustains the inflation for a maximum of 3 seconds.7 Exercises has emerged as a primary modality for improving quality of life of COPD patients, Since COPD is characterized by loss of elastic tissues the chest expansion is limited and patients use the accessory muscles for respiration. Clinically respiratory muscle fatigue is the common feature of COPD patients. The accessory muscles are not designed for long term use. So it easily gets tired in conditions like COPD. To bring back the muscle tone respiratory muscle training become the Golden Standard for Patients with COPD.8 6 6.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY Although COPD affects people of all ages and over all, the incidence of COPD in women than in men and higher industrialized sectors and nations. World Wide Information The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that COPD as a single cause of death shares 4th and 5th places with HIV/AIDS (after coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and acute respiratory infection). The WHO estimates that in 2000, 2.74 million people died of COPD worldwide. In 1990, a study by the World Bank and WHO ranked COPD 12th as a burden of disease; by 2020, it is estimated that COPD will be ranked 5th. According to the WHO, passive smoking carries serious risks, especially for children and those chronically exposed. The WHO estimates that passive smoking is associated with a 10 to 43 percent increase in risk of COPD in adults. Although cigarette smoking is the primary cause of COPD, the WHO estimates that there are 400,000 deaths per year from exposure to biomass fuels. In Algeria, the prevalence of tuberculosis and acute respiratory infection has decreased since 1965, but an increase in chronic respiratory diseases (asthma and COPD) has been observed in the last decade. COPD is estimated to be 6.2 percent in 11 Asian countries surveyed by the Asian Pacific Society of respiratory diseases. 7 Indian Information COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the India and is projected to be the third leading cause of death for both males and females by the year 2020. The NHBLI reports 12.1 million adults 25 and older were diagnosed in 2001. It is estimated that there may be currently be 16 million people in the India currently diagnosed with COPD. It is estimated that there may as many as an additional 14 million or more in the India still undiagnosed, as they are in the beginning stages and have little to minimal symptoms and have not sought health care yet. Men are 7 times more likely to be diagnosed with emphysema then women, though the prevalence in women is on a steady increase and this number is lowering with each year People over the age of 50 are more likely to be considered disabled, however, the damage started years before About 1.5 million emergency department visits by adults 25 and older were made for COPD in 2000. More emergency department visits for COPD were made by adult females than adult males (898,000 vs. 651,000). About 726,000 hospitalizations for COPD occurred in 2000. More females than males were hospitalized for COPD (404,000 vs. 322,000). Carlin B.W(2009), State that department of internal medicine, allegheny general hospital, Drexel university school of medicine, USA. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a core component of the management of a patient with chronic lung disease. The respiratory 8 therapist plays a vital role in pulmonary rehabilitation. Identifying patients who are eligible for pulmonary rehabilitation, assessing the individual patient prior to entry into the program, providing education regarding the patient's disease, and actively participating in the exercise and training programs are just few of the ways that the respiratory therapist can participate in this very important activity for patients with chronic lung disease.9 Sugawara K (2009), Status that department of Rehabilitation Medicine, School of Medicine, Japan. Effective home-based pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with restrictive lung diseases. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are commonly referred for pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), but the use of PR is not common for patients with restrictive lung disease, neuromuscular diseases, and those who have sustained a severe respiratory illness or undergone thoracic surgery. We investigated the effects of PR in patients with restrictive lung diseases in comparison with COPD patients using a home-based setting. Twenty-six restrictive lung diseases patients and 40 COPD patients who had a Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnea score >or= 2, a clinically stable condition, and who had completed 6-months PR program, were enrolled in the present study.10 Vagaggini B, et.al (2009), Cardio-Thoracic and Vascular Department, University of Pisa, Italy. Clinical predictors of the efficacy of a pulmonary rehabilitation programme in patients with COPD. After PRP there was a significant improvement in exercise tolerance and quality of life, which correlated with baseline FEV(1)/VC, PaO(2), SpO(2), 6MWT and SGRQ. SGRQ significantly decreased and 6MWT significantly increased after PRP in all subgroups, except for patients with CV comorbidities. Both univariate and 9 multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that BMI>25 and resting PaO(2)<60mmHg were independent predictors of PRP efficacy in terms of improvement of 6MWT, but not of SGRQ scores. Clinical and functional baseline findings do not predict the response to PRP in COPD. The greater efficacy in patients with BMI>25 or with PaO(2)<60mmHg may be due to a greater deconditioning in overweight patients, and to larger room for improvement in hypoxemic patients.8 WHO (2001) predicts that by 2020, COPD will rise to be fifth most prevalent disease worldwide and third most common cause of death. In India COPD is equally, prevalent in rural and urban areas. Males are more affected than females Sainan G.S, (1992).7 Gerald (2000) states that pursed lip breathing improves ventilation, decreases air trapping in the lungs, decreases the work of breathing, improves breathing pattern prolongs exhalation, slows down the breathing rate, keeps the airways open longer, improves the movement of old air out of the lungs and allows for more new air to get into the lungs.11 Orfanos (1999) evaluated the effect of deep breathing exercises, the results proved that there was significant improvement in the pulmonary function. 12 A review of available literature indicates that studies effective pulmonary rehabilitation is need for the COPD patient. The nurse as health team members has the responsibility of educating the patient about disease process, avoiding triggers, breathing exercise, inhaler therapy, diet, medication and home care management for the COPD. 10 6.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE INTRODUCTION: COPD during recent year, COPD hospitalizations rates have markedly increased. The high morbidity rates related to COPD may be attributed to limited access to health care, an inaccurate assessment of disease severely a delay in seeking help inadequate medical treatment and non-adherence to prescribed therapy, studies have proved that this could be overcome by educational programmes emphasizing the importance of self management at home. Nurses are in the best position to achieve this aim of COPD management therapy preventing the recurrent. This chapter is discussed under the following headings. 1. Literature related to pulmonary rehabilitation with COPD 2. Literature related to prevalence of COPD 3. Literature related to effectiveness of structured teaching programme on rehabilitation of COPD. 1. LITERATURE RELATED TO PULMONARY REHABILITATION WITH COPD. Evans RA (2009), Dept of Respiratory Medicine, Allergy and Thoracic Surgery, University Hospitals of Leicester, United Kingdom. The objective of the study is to assess the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation stratified by the MRC dyspnoea scale in patients with COPD. This is a retrospective, observational study of data collected from 450 consecutive patients with COPD attending outpatient PR: 247 male, mean (SD) age 69.5 (8.9) yrs and FEV(1) 44.6 (19.7)% predicted. Patients with COPD, of all MRC dyspnoea grades, benefit comparably from pulmonary rehabilitation achieving both 11 statistically and clinically meaningful improvements in exercise performance. MRC grade should therefore not be used to exclude patients from pulmonary rehabilitation.13 Hartl S (2009), Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Austria. The study was to determine the effect of one year of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on functional parameters and exacerbation rates in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A total of 100 patients were enrolled in a multidisciplinary PR program. PR included endurance, resistance and respiratory muscle training. We performed spiroergometry, a modified Bruce Test and measurements of upper and lower limb contractility as well as inspiratory muscle strength before, six and 12 months after beginning rehabilitation. Additionally, we assessed the quality of life and the number of exacerbations and exacerbation days one year before and after starting rehabilitation. One year of outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation is an effective intervention leading to a significant improvement in exercise tolerance and quality of life in patients with COPD also reducing COPD exacerbation rates and hospitalizations.14 Martino F (2009), Cardio-Thoracic and Vascular Department, University of Pisa, Italy. After PRP there was a significant improvement in exercise tolerance and quality of life, which correlated with baseline FEV(1)/VC, PaO(2), SpO(2), 6MWT and SGRQ. SGRQ significantly decreased and 6MWT significantly increased after PRP in all subgroups, except for patients with CV comorbidities. Both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that BMI>25 and resting PaO(2)<60mmHg were independent predictors of PRP efficacy in terms of improvement of 6MWT, but not of SGRQ scores. Clinical and functional baseline findings do not predict the response to PRP in COPD. The greater efficacy in patients with BMI>25 or with PaO(2)<60mmHg 12 may be due to a greater deconditioning in overweight patients, and to a larger room for improvement in hypoxemic patients.15 Troosters T et al., (2009), Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, USA. Pulmonary rehabilitation has become a cornerstone in the management of patients with stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Systematic reviews have shown large and important clinical effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in these patients. In unstable COPD patients who have suffered from an exacerbation recently, however, the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation are less established.16 Weinberg RL et al., (2009), Capital Hospice and Palliative Care Consultants, USA. Although pulmonary rehabilitation has reproducibly improved dyspnea and quality of life indices in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), its suitability to the palliative-care setting is not well established. Evolutions in exercise design, self-monitored home-based programs, and understanding of the patient populations that may benefit are rendering pulmonary rehabilitation more feasible for patients with significant impairment. In this review, we focus on the recent developments that translate most successfully into the palliative-care setting. Recent innovations in pulmonary rehabilitation interventions and setting allow the flexibility to facilitate its incorporation into an individualized palliative plan of care. Appropriately tailored, pulmonary rehabilitation may provide additional opportunities to optimize functional capacity and reduce symptom burden.17 F. Lötters (2002), conducted a study to assess the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation on COPD. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to review studies investigating the efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary 13 disease (COPD) patients. A systematic literature search was performed using the Medline and Embase databases. On the basis of a methodological framework, a critical review was performed and summary effect-sizes were calculated by applying fixed and random effects models. This study concluded that pulmonary rehabilitation programme directed at chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with inspiratory muscle weakness.18 James Patrick Finnerty, (2001) conducted a study to assess the effectiveness of Outpatient Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Chronic Lung Disease. They undertook a randomized, prospective, parallel-group controlled study of an outpatient rehabilitation program in 65 patients with COPD (44 men and 21 women; mean age, 69.5 years [SD, 9.2 years]; FEV1, 41% predicted [SD, 18.5%]). The active group (n = 36) took part in a 6week program of education (2 h weekly) and exercise (1 h weekly). The control group (n = 29) were reviewed routinely as medical outpatients. A 6-week outpatient-based program significantly improved quality of life in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD.19 2. Literature related to prevalence of COPD Ana Maria B Menezes, (2002), conducted a study to assess the prevalence of COPD in five Latin American cities (the PLATINO study). The aim of the PLATINO study, launched in 2002, was to describe the epidemiology of COPD in five major Latin American cities: São Paulo (Brazil), Santiago (Chile), Mexico City (Mexico), Montevideo (Uruguay), and Caracas (Venezuela). A two-stage sampling strategy was used in the five areas to obtain probability samples of adults aged 40 years or older. These individuals were invited to answer a questionnaire and undergo anthropometry, followed by prebronchodilator and postbronchodilator spirometry. These results suggest 14 that COPD is a greater health problem in Latin America than previously realised. Altitude may explain part of the difference in prevalence. Given the high rates of tobacco use in the region, increasing public awareness of the burden of COPD is important.20 A Sonia Buist, (2007) conducted a study to assess the International variation in the prevalence of COPD (The BOLD Study). The objective of the study is to measure the prevalence of COPD and its risk factors and investigate variation across countries by age, sex, and smoking status. Participants from 12 sites (n=9425) completed post bronchodilator spirometry testing plus questionnaires about respiratory symptoms, health status, and exposure to COPD risk factors. This worldwide study showed the prevalence of stage II or higher COPD was 10·1% (SE 4·8) overall, 11·8% (7·9) for men, and 8·5% (5·8) for women. The ORs for 10-year age increments were much the same across sites and for women and men. The overall pooled estimate was 1·94 (95% CI 1·80–2·10) per 10-year increment. Site-specific pack-year ORs varied significantly in women (pooled OR=1·28, 95% CI 1·15–1·42, p=0·012), but not in men (1·16, 1·12–1·21, p=0·743).21 R. J. Halbert, (2003), conducted a study to assess the prevalence of COPD. The objective of the study was to summarize the available data on COPD prevalence and assess reasons for conflicting prevalence estimates in the published literature. Thirty-two sources of COPD prevalence rates, representing 17 countries and eight World Health Organization-classified regions, were identified and reviewed. There is considerable variation in the reported prevalence of COPD. The overall prevalence in adults appears to lie between 4% and 10% in countries where it has been rigorously measured.22 David M Mannino, (2007), conducted a study to assess the Global burden of COPD: risk factors, prevalence, and future trends. The objective of the study is to 15 evaluate risk factor, prevalence and trends of COPD. Prevalence estimates of the disorder show considerable variability across populations, suggesting that risk factors can affect populations differently. Other advances in our understanding of COPD are increased recognition of the importance of comorbid disease, identification of different COPD phenotypes, and understanding how factors other than lung function affect outcome in our patients. The challenge we will all face in the next few years will be implementation of cost-effective prevention and management strategies to stem the tide of this disease and its cost.23 Victor Sobradillo, (2000), conducted a study to assess the Geographic Variations in Prevalence and Underdiagnosed of COPD. The objective of the study is to ascertain the prevalence, diagnostic level, and treatment of COPD in Spain through a multicenter study comprising seven different geographic areas. A total of 4,035 men and women (age range, 40 to 69 years) who were randomly selected from a target population of 236,412 subjects participated in the study. The result showed that COPD is a very frequent disease in Spain, and presents significant geographic variations and a very low level of previous diagnosis and treatment, even in the most advanced cases.24 Andrés Caballero, (2007), conducted a study to assess the Prevalence of COPD in Five Colombian Cities. This study aimed to investigate COPD prevalence in five Colombian cities and measure the association between COPD and altitude. A crosssectional design and a random, multistage, cluster-sampling strategy were used to provide representative samples of adults aged ≥ 40 years. The study concluded that COPD is an important health burden in Colombia. Additional studies are needed to establish the real influence of altitude on COPD prevalence.25 16 3. Literature related to effectiveness of structured teaching programme on rehabilitation of COPD. Anna Migliore Norweg, (2005), conducted a study to assess the effectiveness of teaching programme on pulmonary rehabilitation. The objective of the study is to assess the short-term and long-term effects of pulmonary rehabilitation on quality of life. They selected Forty-three outpatients with COPD. Patients were randomized to one of three treatment groups: exercise training alone, exercise training plus activity training, and exercise training plus a lecture series. The mean treatment period was 10 weeks. The study concluded that teaching programme with exercise training was effective in improving the knowledge of pulmonary rehabilitation among patient with COPD.26 Y. Dhein, (2004), conducted a study on education programme can modify the behavior in the management of COPD. The active participation of COPD-patients in the management of their disease may reduce the burden of the disease. Self-management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) includes sufficient coping behaviour, compliance with inhaled medication, attention to changes in the severity of the disease, adequate inhalation technique, and self-adjustment of the medication in case of exacerbations. In contrast to the conflicting results of the current literature, the evaluation of our structured education programme for patients with mild to moderate COPD revealed a significant improvement of inhalation technique and self-control of the disease as well as a significant reduction of exacerbations. Therefore, it may be concluded that education may modify the behavior of patients in the management of COPD by improving self-control and self-management of the disease and thus reducing morbidity.27 17 Dr. P Sudre, (2009), conducted a study to assess the effectiveness of teaching programme on rehabilitation in COPD. The objectives of this paper are to describe COPD education programmes and assess their variability. This study concluded that Insufficient documentation of COPD education programmes for adults precludes their replication. This, together with excessive variability, reduces the possibility of identifying their most effective components. A more systematic description of asthma training programmes should be promoted.28 Frode Gallefoss, (2004), conducted a study to assess The effects of patient education in COPD in a 1-year follow-up randomized, controlled trial. The objectives were to explore the effects and health economic consequences of patient education in patients with COPD in a 12-month follow-up. Sixty-two patients with mild to moderate Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The intervention group participated in a 4 h group patient education, followed by one to two individual nurse- and physiotherapistsessions. Self-management was emphasized following a stepwise treatment plan. Effectiveness was expressed in terms of number of general practitioner (GP) consultations, proportions in need of GP consultations, utilization of rescue medication and patient satisfaction. This study concluded that Patient education reduced the need for GP visits with 85% (from 3.4 to 0.5, P<0.001) and kept a greater proportion independent of their GP during the 12-month follow-up, compared with no education (73% versus 15%, respectively). Patient education reduced the need for reliever medication from 290 to 125 Defined Daily Dosages (DDD), and improved patient satisfaction with overall handling of their disease at GP.29 18 E. Crisafulli, (2010), conducted Learning impact of education during Pulmonary Rehabilitation program. An observational short-term cohort study. The learning effect was prospectively evaluated by a specific questionnaire (ESQ) in 285 COPD patients (age 69±8 years, FEV1 53±14 % pred), then grouped into those who have completed (ES) Educational Session(Completers group, n=226) or who did not (mean 2±1 ES) (Control group, n=59). This study showed that Attending educational sessions produces a specific short-term learning effect during rehabilitation of COPD patients.30 Claus Runge, (2006), conducted a study to assess the effectiveness of WebBased Patient Education Program for COPD Children and Adolescents. The objective of the study is to determined whether a continuous Internet-based education program (IEP) as an add-on to a standardized patient management program (SPMP) improves health outcomes of COPD patients. A total of 438 asthmatic patients aged 8 to 16 years in 36 study centers were enrolled during a 6-month period. Study participants were assigned to a control group and two intervention groups. Patients in both intervention groups participated in an SPMP. Additionally, patients in one intervention group received the IEP. This study concluded that the web-based patient education helped them to improve the health status of patient with COPD.31 19 6.3(A) STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM “A study to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding pulmonary rehabilitation among patient with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in selected hospitals at Bangalore. 6.4(B) OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY To assess the pre-test knowledge on pulmonary rehabilitation among patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease To evaluate the structured teaching programme regarding pulmonary rehabilitation among patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
