An interventional study of Occupational therapy in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, sponsored by Universidad de Granada. Status unknown at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-11-02.
Sponsored by Universidad de Granada · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic condition involving an impairment in functionality and in the execution of activities of daily life. The hypothesis of this study is that an occupational therapy intervention added to a physiotherapy program and a medical treatment increase the functionality and the quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The evolution of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can be aggravated in some periods by an increase of the symptoms (above all, the cough, the dyspnea and the quantity of sputum purulence). This is known as exacerbation, and it is the most frequent reason for hospital stay, urgences services and death in this condition. A physiotherapy program and an occupational therapy intervention are carrying out in patients attending to the Hospital because of an exacerbation.. Participants will be assessed at baseline and again at the end of the study.
4,252 studies on the registry are indexed under Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive; 707 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 35 is below the median of 70 across 3,008 interventional studies indexed under Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive.

Exclusion Criteria:
35 patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease attending to the Hospital because of an exacerbation are going to be included in this group.
Other: Occupational therapy
35 patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are going to be included in this group. They are not going to receive other than standard care (medical and physical therapy intervention).
Patients included in this group are going to receive an occupational therapy intervention 3 sessions after hospital discharge. The intervention is based on energy conservation techniques improving the execution of the activities of daily living.
Also known as: Activities of daily living, Functionality, Quality of life, Independence
Functionality
Change from baseline to postintervention on functionality. This is assessed using two measures: the Functional Independence Measure and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. A follow-up is going to be performed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the occupational therapy intervention.
Time frame: Baseline, 12 months
Quality of life
Changes from baseline to postintervention in quality of life. It is assessed using two questionnaires, the EuroQoL-5D questionnaire and the Health Questionnaire St. George. A follow-up is going to be performed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment.
Time frame: Baseline, 12months
Anxiety and depression
Changes from baseline to postintervention on anxiety and depression measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Patients are going to complete this questionnaire composed of statements relevant to either generalised anxiety or depression. A follow-up is going to be performed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the intervention.
Time frame: Baseline, 12 months
Activity levels
The accelerometer Armband is going to be used for activity monitoring. It measures the intensity of the activity during 12 hours. A follow-up at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months is going to be performed after treatment.
Time frame: Baseline, 12 months
Dyspnoea
Changes from baseline to postintervention in dyspnoea measured with Borg Scale. A follow-up is going to be performed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after occupational therapy treatment.
Time frame: baseline, 12 months
