Summary

Lung transplantation has become standard of care for selected patients with end stage pulmonary disease. While on the lung transplantation waiting list, patient health, emotional wellbeing and quality of life can deteriorate. By improving or changing patient physical activity, healthy nutrition, tobacco cessation, patient preparation for lung transplantation can be optimized, risk of complications can be reduced, and outcomes post transplantation can be improved.

The potential of health coaching to improve health outcomes has been demonstrated in several chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, and rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, health coaching was proven effective through telemedicine.

No studies so far have addressed the potential effect of a pre-transplant health coaching program on existing medical conditions, transplant rates and post-transplant outcomes. Investigators hypothesized that health coaching can improve health outcomes and survival of lung transplantation candidates by supporting and growing patients' capacity to cope with the demands of their end stage pulmonary disease.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

HCTP

10 weekly 1-on-1 30-minute tele-sessions via Zoom, delivered by a certified health coach. At baseline assessment including full medical history, medications, lifestyle practices, self-reported health status, psychosocial status, and other relevant information will be taken. At the first session, participants identify their health vision and 3-month health goals. At subsequent meetings, participants review their progress towards reaching the prior week's goals and identify goals for the next week. An individualized action plan will be formulated to help each participant achieve their goals. The action plan will focus on important lifestyle practices (physical activity/exercise training, correct nutrition, weight management, tobacco cessation, and stress management. Patients can request further health care advice felt necessary for their progress, and will be referred to health care professionals in the rehabilitation hospital that provide care for lung transplantation candidates.
