Rapid access rehabilitation after exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonar...
Quach, Shirley; Oliveira, Ana; Brooks, Dina; Walker, Jan; Goldstein, RogerBACKGROUND: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) improves function and health-related quality of life following acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). There is increasing interest in initiating rapid access rehabilitation (RAR) within 48h of AECOPD discharge, to facilitate transition to home and conventional PR. In this report, we identify the practical considerations for the design and...

Cognitive interventions in individuals with chronic respiratory diseases: proto...
Ryzer, Danielle; Bhatti, Bushra; Streicher, Alana; Weinberg, Paula; Hanna, Fady; Moretto, Jessica; Brooks, Dina; Quach, Shirley; Oliveira, AnaBackground: Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) may cause reduced oxygen availability to organs and body tissues, leading to an increased risk for ischemic damage, which can result in brain tissue injury. This damage can lead to a myriad of neurological symptoms contributing to cognitive decline. Cognitive interventions may attenuate cognitive deficits in people with CRDs; however, the effects have not yet been...
Features and characteristics of publicly available mHealth apps for self-manage...
Quach, Shirley; Benoit, Adam; Oliveira, Ana; Packham, Tara L.; Goldstein, Roger; Brooks, DinaMobile health applications (mHealth apps) may be able to support people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to develop the appropriate skills and routines for adequate self-management. Given the wide variety of publicly available mHealth apps, it is important to be aware of their characteristics to optimize their use and mitigate potential harms. Objective: To report the characteristics and...
Mobile health applications for self‑management in chronic lung disease: a syste...
Quach, Shirley; Michaelchuk, Wade; Benoit, Adam; Oliveira, Ana; Packham, Tara L.; Goldstein, Roger; Brooks, DinaIntegration of mobile health (mHealth) applications (apps) into chronic lung disease management is becoming increasingly popular. MHealth apps may support adoption of self-management behaviors to assist people in symptoms control and quality of life enhancement. However, mHealth apps’ designs, features, and content are inconsistently reported, making it difcult to determine which were the efective components. T...
A non-pharmacological cough therapy for people with interstitial lung diseases:...
Dasouki, Sabrina; Quach, Shirley; Mancopes, Renata; Mitchell, Sarah Chamberlain; Goldstein, Roger; Brooks, Dina; Oliveira, AnaPurpose: To explore the feasibility of a non-pharmacological cough control therapy (CCT) customized for a client with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Client Description: An 83-year-old female with hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and chronic cough for 18 years treated previously with pharmacological treatment for the underlying lung disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease, as well as lozenges and breathing an...
Living with chronic cough: experiences, burden and management in ILD: a qualita...
Quach, Shirley; Lebouedec, Matisse; Mancopes, Renata; Brooks, Dina; Oliveira, AnaChronic cough (CC) defined as lasting > 8 weeks, affects up to 84% of people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). However, their experiences with CC and management needs are rarely explored. This study reports on the characteristics, burden and management experienced by people with ILD living with CC. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 8 participants with CC and ILD (6 males; 65.4±6.0 years; FVC 57...
Rapid access rehabilitation after exacerbations of COPD: a qualitative study
Oliveira, Ana; Quach, Shirley; Alsubheen, Sanaa; Dasouki, Sabrina; Walker, Jan; Brooks, Dina; Goldstein, RogerPurpose: Rehabilitation after acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is beneficial, but its feasibility is questionable. Feasibility is potentiated by stakeholder involvement during program development. We aimed to explore the perspectives of various stakeholders towards an innovative rapid access rehabilitation (RAR) program for patients immediately following hospitalization for ...
Rapid Access Rehabilitation after exacerbations of COPD: a qualitative study
Oliveira, Ana; Quach, Shirley; Alsubheen, Sanaa; Brooks, Dina; Walker, Jan; Goldstein, RogerRehabilitation after exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is beneficial, but its feasibility is questionable. Feasibility is potentiated by stakeholder involvement throughout program development. We explored the perspectives of different stakeholders towards a rapid access rehabilitation (RAR) program after acute exacerbations. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 3 patients (62-89y;...
