Background summary
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is increasing in the Netherlands.
The incidence of COPD is about 2-3 per 1000 and the prevalence of 12-19 per
1000 patients in the Dutch primary health care. The World Health Organization
(WHO) states that its prevalence in 2020 will be on the fourth rank of death
and the fifth rank of causes of disability-adjusted life years lost worldwide.
COPD is characterized by a deterioration of lung function, a lowering physical
activity level and a low state of quality of life.
Study objective
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of a structured lifestyle
program (in the first, second and third echelon) on the physical activity level
of COPD patients
Study design
It concerns a randomized controlled study. In this study a structured lifestyle
program will be compared with usual care in the first, second and third echelon
of the health care.
Intervention
A structured lifestyle program, based on the COACH method, will be used. This
method was developed by the Institute of Human Movement Sciences of the
University of Groningen (RUG). Using COACH, patients will be stimulated
individually to enhance a physically active lifestyle.
Study burden and risks
According to the study protocol patients in the experimental group and the
control group participate in five measurement sessions. In each assessment a
physical fitness test, lung function, questionnaires is taken. Total duration
of the assessments is about 7 hours and 45 minutes. Al participants use a
pedometer. Patients of the experimental group participate in three individual
counseling sessions (total duration 90 minutes) and one telephonic counseling
(15 minutes) as well. As a result of the type of assessments used, the study
has a very low risk profile.
