The aim of our study was to find out the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), which was applied to patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) both during their stay in the intensive care unit and also after discharge, on dyspnea, daily living activities, anxiety, depression, and quality of life.
The study was conducted using a randomized, pretest, posttest, follow-up, and control group interventional study design. The data were collected from patients between June and August 2021. A total of 60 patients with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit, including 30 in the intervention and 30 in the control group, were included randomly in the study. The patients in the intervention group were started PR at home and continued with telerehabilitation.
Pulmonary rehabilitation applied to patients diagnosed with COVID-19 both during their stay in the intensive care unit and following discharge had a positive effect on patients' dyspnea, daily living activities, anxiety, depression, and quality of life.
It was found that PR applied both during the intensive care unit stay and at home by using the telerehabilitation method decreased anxiety, depression, and dyspnea in patients with COVID-19 and affected the quality of life and daily living activities positively. Continuing PR, which was applied to acute respiratory patients in the hospital and with telerehabilitation at home, can ensure the integrity of care and treatment.
我们研究的目的是了解对2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）患者在重症监护病房住院期间及出院后进行肺康复（PR），对其呼吸困难、日常生活活动能力、焦虑、抑郁和生活质量的影响。
本研究采用随机、前测、后测、随访和对照组的干预性研究设计。数据收集于2021年6月至8月期间的患者。共有60例重症监护病房的COVID-19患者被随机纳入研究，其中干预组30例，对照组30例。干预组患者在家中开始肺康复并继续进行远程康复。
对确诊为COVID-19的患者在重症监护病房住院期间及出院后进行肺康复，对患者的呼吸困难、日常生活活动能力、焦虑、抑郁和生活质量有积极影响。
发现在重症监护病房住院期间及在家中采用远程康复方法进行肺康复，可降低COVID-19患者的焦虑、抑郁和呼吸困难，并对生活质量和日常生活活动能力产生积极影响。持续对医院中的急性呼吸道疾病患者进行肺康复并在家中进行远程康复，可确保护理和治疗的完整性。
