Pulmonary rehabilitation is recommended to restore chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients' abilities to the highest level of independency and functionality. Telehealth has the potential to improve rehabilitation programs and to enhance patients' participation. However, little is known about the potential benefits of using telehealth in providing rehabilitation for COPD patients at home. The purpose of this review was to provide a narrative synthesis of literature of studies, which use telehealth with video components to provide real-time pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD patients. An electronic database search was performed in the Ovid Medline, CINAHL, and PubMed databases. Seven eligible studies were included based on the inclusion criteria. Based on the included studies, using telehealth to provide real-time interactive pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD patients at home is feasible and acceptable, and can provide clinical and social positive benefits. A knowledge gap regarding feasibility, acceptance, and benefits of using telehealth to provide real-time pulmonary rehabilitation services still exists.
建议进行肺康复治疗,以使慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者的能力恢复到最高水平的独立性和功能状态。远程医疗有改善康复计划并提高患者参与度的潜力。然而,对于在家中使用远程医疗为COPD患者提供康复治疗的潜在益处,人们知之甚少。本综述的目的是对使用带有视频组件的远程医疗为COPD患者提供实时肺康复治疗的研究文献进行叙述性综合分析。在Ovid Medline、CINAHL和PubMed数据库中进行了电子数据库检索。根据纳入标准,纳入了七项符合条件的研究。基于纳入的研究,在家中使用远程医疗为COPD患者提供实时交互式肺康复治疗是可行且可接受的,并且可以带来临床和社会方面的积极益处。在使用远程医疗提供实时肺康复服务的可行性、可接受性和益处方面,仍然存在知识空白。
