Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in the management of chronic respiratory disease conditions (CRC) are well-documented, it remains underutilized. In Jordan, the scarcity of PR services denies those with CRC the opportunity to improve their functional capacity, mental health, and quality of life. OBJECTIVE To explore the factors related to the implementation of PR in Jordan from the perspective of the healthcare professionals (HCPs). METHODS This was a qualitative study that utilized semi-structured interviews informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). Twenty-one HCPs were interviewed. Interview transcripts were coded against the relevant TDF domain(s) and then domains' summaries were generated. RESULTS A total of 997 quotes were coded against the TDF domains. Knowledge, environmental context and resources, social influences, and skills domains were the ones most coded. The study identified several barriers to PR implementation such as: limited knowledge and skills pertaining to PR among HCPs, limited public awareness of PR, financial costs, limited legislation related to establishment of PR and role confusion of HCPs in PR. The main facilitators include: HCPs willingness to be involved in new programs such as PR, the perception of the importance and need for PR and HCPs beliefs about capabilities to overcome barriers for a successful implementation of PR. CONCLUSION The current study provided information that will inform stakeholders and policymakers about the factors affecting PR implementation in Jordan. Improvements in HCPs skills and knowledge about PR, financial support, improvements in undergraduate syllabi and policies to control PR service provision are considered to be key to a successful implementation of PR.

Contextual factors for the successful implementation of self-management interventions for chronic diseases: A qualitative review of reviews. Chronic Illn 2024; 20:3-22.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify and describe the most relevant contextual factors (CFs) from the literature that influence the successful implementation of self-management interventions (SMIs) for patients living with type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, COPD and/or heart failure. METHODS We conducted a qualitative review of reviews. Four databases were searched, 929 reviews were identified, 460 screened and 61 reviews met the inclusion criteria. CFs in this paper are categorized according to the Tailored Implementation for Chronic Diseases framework. RESULTS A great variety of CFs was identified on several levels, across all four chronic diseases. Most CFs were on the level of the patient, the professional and the interaction level, while less CFs were obtained on the level of the intervention, organization, setting and national level. No differences in main themes of CFs across all four diseases were found. DISCUSSION For the successful implementation of SMIs, it is crucial to take CFs on several levels into account simultaneously. Person-centered care, by tailoring SMIs to patients' needs and circumstances, may increase the successful uptake, application and implementation of SMIs in real-life practice. The next step will be to identify the most important CFs according to various stakeholders through a group consensus process.

Abstract
Background: Despite the known benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for patients with chronic respiratory disease, this treatment is underused. Evidence-based guidelines should lead to greater knowledge of the proven benefits of PR, highlight the role of PR in evidence-based health care, and in turn foster referrals to and more effective delivery of PR for people with chronic respiratory disease. Methods: The multidisciplinary panel formulated six research questions addressing PR for specific patient groups (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary hypertension) and models for PR delivery (telerehabilitation, maintenance PR). Treatment effects were quantified using systematic reviews. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach was used to formulate clinical recommendations. Recommendations: The panel made the following judgments: strong recommendations for PR for adults with stable COPD (moderate-quality evidence) and after hospitalization for COPD exacerbation (moderate-quality evidence), strong recommendation for PR for adults with interstitial lung disease (moderate-quality evidence), conditional recommendation for PR for adults with pulmonary hypertension (low-quality evidence), strong recommendation for offering the choice of center-based PR or telerehabilitation for patients with chronic respiratory disease (moderate-quality evidence), and conditional recommendation for offering either supervised maintenance PR or usual care after initial PR for adults with COPD (low-quality evidence). Conclusions: These guidelines provide the basis for evidence-based delivery of PR for people with chronic respiratory disease.

[PMID: 36893847 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaip.2023.02.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/26/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many adult patients with asthma have uncontrolled disease and impaired quality of life, despite current asthma-specific drug therapies. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of 9 traits in patients with asthma, their associations with disease control and quality of life, and referral rates to nonmedical health care professionals. METHODS Retrospectively, data from patients with asthma were collected in 2 Dutch hospitals (Amphia Breda and RadboudUMC Nijmegen). Adult patients without exacerbation <3 months who were referred for a first-ever elective, outpatient, hospital-based diagnostic pathway were deemed eligible. Nine traits were assessed: dyspnea, fatigue, depression, overweight, exercise intolerance, physical inactivity, smoking, hyperventilation, and frequent exacerbations. To assess the likelihood of having poor disease control or decreased quality of life, the odds ratio (OR) was calculated per trait. Referral rates were assessed by checking patients' files. RESULTS A total of 444 adults with asthma were studied (57% women, age: 48 ± 16 years, forced expiratory volume in 1 second: 88% ± 17% predicted). Most patients (53%) were found to have uncontrolled asthma (Asthma Control Questionnaire ≥1.5 points) and decreased quality of life (Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire <6 points). Generally, patients had 3.0 ± 1.8 traits. Severe fatigue was most prevalent (60%) and significantly increased the likelihood of having uncontrolled asthma (OR: 3.0, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.9-4.7) and decreased quality of life (OR: 4.6, 95% CI: 2.7-7.9). Referrals to nonmedical health care professionals were low; most referrals were to a respiratory-specialized nurse (33%). CONCLUSION Adult patients with asthma with a first-ever referral to a pulmonologist frequently exhibit traits justifying the deployment of nonpharmacological interventions, especially in those with uncontrolled asthma. However, referrals to appropriate interventions appeared infrequent.

NPJ Prim Care Respir Med 2022; 32:23.

Abstract
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is highly evidenced but underutilised in patients living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A menu of centre and home-based programmes is available to facilitate uptake but is not routinely offered. An appraisal of the current PR referral approach compared to a menu-based approach was warranted to explore the decision-making needs of patients living with COPD when considering a referral to PR. Face-to-face or telephone, semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients diagnosed with COPD and referred to PR and referring HCPs. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using the enhanced critical incident technique. 14 HCPs and 11 patients were interviewed (n = 25). Interview data generated 276 critical incidents which informed 28 categories (30 sub-categories). Five high-level themes captured patients' decision-making needs for PR: Understanding COPD, understanding PR, perceived ability to access PR, a desire to accept PR, and supporting the offer. A menu-based approach would further support patients' PR decision-making, however, insufficient knowledge of the programmes would limit its perceived feasibility and acceptability. The development of shared decision making interventions (e.g., a patient decision aid) to elicit patient-centred, meaningful discussions about the menu is suggested.
