In patients with COPD and a history of recent exacerbation, to compare the quality of life after completing a joint program of health education and respiratory rehabilitation with those patients who only receive respiratory rehabilitation. To compare lung function, the distance traveled in the 6-minute walk test and in the test of the shuttle between both groups. Also, to compare between both groups adherence to inhaled treatment, physical activity, and emotional condition. Finally, to compare the number of visits to emergencies and hospitalizations, and on the other hand, the number of mild, moderate and severe exacerbations between both groups
In this trial we selected COPD patients with a history of recent exacerbation to be submitted to a respiratory rehabilitation program with or without a individualized program of health education. We try to demonstrate a better improvement in the quality of life after completing a joint program of health education and respiratory rehabilitation in this patients than those one who only receive respiratory rehabilitation. We also want to demonstrate an improvement in lung function, the distance travelled in the 6-minute walk test and in the test of the shuttle, the adherence to inhaled treatment, the physical activity, the emotional condition, the number of visits to emergencies and hospitalizations and the number of mild, moderate and severe exacerbations between both groups.
