Summary

Loneliness is the feeling of sadness because one wants friends or company. This feeling is common in patients with chronic lung disease, who suffer from breathing difficulty, chronic cough, and reduced physical and mental health. These problems lead to a reduced ability for doing daily activities and cause a loss of social life. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) includes exercise and education. PR has been shown to improve health status in patients with chronic lung disease but its impact on loneliness levels has never been assessed. This study aims to assess the effect of PR on reducing loneliness in patients with chronic lung disease.
