Summary

Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of mobile application-based exercise programs on the quality of life and dyspnea of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This study was designed experimentally with a randomized control group.

Methods: A total of 76 COPD patients were included in the study. Individuals aged 40 and over with COPD were included in the study, while individuals with communication, mental, neurological and cognitive problems and unable to exercise were excluded from the study. Among those who met the inclusion criteria, those who had a smart-phone were assigned to the experimental group, while those who did not have a smart-phone were assigned to the control group. Self-management training was given to all individuals in both the control and experimental groups. After the training, the Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and dyspnea tests were administered to both groups. After the rehabilitation exercise program developed for the patients in the experimental group was applied, the tests were repeated for all groups.

Results: The mean age of the patients in the study was 65.5708± 9 in the control group, while the mean age of the experimental group was 67.61± 9.93. While the Borg dyspnea scale results of the experimental group were 6.45± 1.90 in the first test, the post-test measurements were 5.16± 1.65 (t = 7.66, p = 0.00). SGRQ pre-test and post-test total scores were 50.78± 16.39 and 41.99±15.04, respectively, in the experimental group (t=6.80 and p=0.08).

Conclusion: Respiratory and muscle strengthening exercises applied with the support of the mobile application, positively affected the quality of life of patients with COPD.
