No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this feasibility study is to identify the acceptability of an intervention designed to promote physical activity following pulmonary rehabilitation for individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Participants in the intervention group will be provided with pedometers and step diaries and added to a WhatsApp group with other graduates of pulmonary rehabilitation for 52 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

WhatsApp, Pedometer and Step Diary

Participants will be provided with a daily step diary and added to a group chat on WhatsApp. The group chat will be populated by other members of pulmonary rehabilitation programme (cluster) and the WhatsApp group leader will encourage participants to keep active. Participants will be encouraged to record the number of steps walked in a paper diary at the end of each day (i.e. prior to bedtime). This diary will simply have three columns: day of the week; number of steps; comments (optional). The intervention will last 52 weeks.
