Arm group label:
Study group
Summary:
As a result of the review in the literature, no study was found in which tele-pulmonary
rehabilitation was applied after physiotherapist-supervised lung resection via video
conferencing.
Therefore, in this study, it was planned to investigate the effectiveness of
tele-pulmonary rehabilitation in patients diagnosed with lung cancer and undergoing lung
resection.
Detailed description:
Research; It was planned as a prospective and randomized controlled study. The research
universe is Istanbul Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital Chest Surgery Clinic will
consist of cases with a preliminary diagnosis of lung cancer. The sample of the study, on
the other hand, will consist of patients who agreed to participate in the study and who
met the inclusion criteria, who were planned for lung resection.
1. Study group (n=18); The treatment features of the tele-pulmonary rehabilitation
group via videoconferencing are; Within the scope of the tele-pulmonary
rehabilitation program, an exercise program consisting of lower-upper extremity
strengthening training and flexibility training, breathing exercises training
(diaphragmatic breathing, thoracic expansion exercises and forced expiration) and
aerobic exercise training will be created before discharge, exercise session will be
followed. Re-evaluation will be done after 8 weeks.Exercise intensity will be
planned as 2 days a week with supervision and 1 day without supervision, 3 days a
week in total. Exercise safety will be ensured by taking the severity of shortness
of breath of the patients as a reference.
2. Control group (n=18); Patients in the tele-pulmonary rehabilitation control group
will be given respiratory and aerobic exercise advice before discharge.
Re-evaluation will be done after 8 weeks.
