To determine the feasibility of recruiting patients with early chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to the Health Enhancing Activity in Lung THerapy (HEALTH) exercise and education programme.
Patients with early COPD were identified from general practices. Those meeting the study inclusion criteria were administered tiotropium throughout the study period. Participants were randomised to either an eight-week health enhancing and physical activity (HEPA) programme, or to a control group (usual care). Behavioural, physiological and psychosocial outcome measures were reported preand post-intervention.
Out of 27 practices approached, 16 (59.3%) agreed to participate. Of 215 potentially eligible patients contacted, 60 (27.9%) replied. Twenty (33.3%) were randomised to either HEPA intervention (n=10) or usual care (n=10). Fourteen patients attended a postintervention assessment.
This study provides valuable information on the feasibility of conducting such a trial involving a physical activity intervention.
确定招募早期慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者参加肺部治疗健康促进活动（HEALTH）锻炼与教育项目的可行性。
从全科医疗中识别出早期COPD患者。符合研究纳入标准的患者在整个研究期间使用噻托溴铵。参与者被随机分为为期八周的健康促进与身体活动（HEPA）项目组或对照组（常规护理）。在干预前后报告行为、生理和社会心理结局指标。
在联系的27家医疗机构中，16家（59.3%）同意参与。在联系的215名潜在合格患者中，60名（27.9%）回复。20名（33.3%）被随机分为HEPA干预组（n = 10）或常规护理组（n = 10）。14名患者参加了干预后评估。
本研究为开展此类涉及身体活动干预的试验的可行性提供了有价值的信息。
