Summary

The 6-minute walk test is a test of physical performance in physiotherapy with lungs and heart patients (Pollentier 2010). However, only 8 and 11% of patients in everyday test situations report a score of 7 or higher on a scale of 0-10 for effort (Jehn 2009). This study is intended to explore, based on grounded theory, why the majority of patients do not assess themselves according to the almost maximum performance.

Interventions

OTHER

Questionnaire, Interview

During the stay, a study visit is arranged with the patient after the 6-minute walk test has been performed. This consists of filling out the questionnaire and an interview, which lasts about 45-60 minutes. This is carried out by the investigator on at least 5 subjects. After each interview, a list of influencing factors is kept. If new aspects continue to appear in the 5th interview, the interviews are continued (up to a maximum of the 10th subject). If no new aspects appear in the interviews from number 6 onwards, the interviews are discontinued and no further patients are recruited. The conversations are recorded with an audio recording.

OTHER

Focus Group

The focus group is carried out first in order to identify influencing variables that may be relevant for the interview (duration 60-90 minutes).
