Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of a structured home-based rehabilitation programme with conventional supervised pulmonary rehabilitation: a randomised non-inferiority trial
Elizabeth Horton,Katy E. Mitchell,Vicki Johnson-Warrington,Lindsay D. Apps,Louise Sewell,Mike Morgan,Rod S Taylor,Sally J Singh +7 more
TL;DR: There was inconclusive evidence that home-based PR was non-inferior to PR in dyspnoea (mean group difference, mITT: −0.24), favouring the centre group at 7 weeks, and further evidence is needed to definitively determine if the health benefits of the standardisedHome-based programme are non- inferior or equivalent to supervised centre-based rehabilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A self-management programme for COPD: a randomised controlled trial
Katy E. Mitchell,Vicki Johnson-Warrington,Lindsay D. Apps,John Bankart,Louise Sewell,Johanna Williams,Karen Rees,Kate Jolly,Michael C Steiner,Mike Morgan,Sally J Singh +10 more
TL;DR: This brief self-management intervention did not improve dyspnoea over and above usual care at 6 months; however, there were gains in anxiety, exercise performance, and disease knowledge.
Journal ArticleDOI
The development and pilot testing of the Self-management Programme of Activity, Coping and Education for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (SPACE for COPD)
Lindsay D. Apps,Katy E. Mitchell,Samantha L. Harrison,Louise Sewell,Johanna Williams,Hannah M L Young,Michael C Steiner,Mike Morgan,Sally Singh +8 more
TL;DR: The program, incorporating the SPACE for COPD manual, appears to provoke important changes in exercise capacity and breathlessness for individuals with COPD managed in primary care.
Journal ArticleDOI
A qualitative study of patients’ experiences of participating in SPACE for COPD: A self-management programme of activity, coping and education
Lindsay D. Apps,Samantha L. Harrison,Katy E. Mitchell,Johanna Williams,Nicky Hudson,Sally J Singh +5 more
TL;DR: Participants valued SPACE for COPD but met complex barriers to independently maintain healthy behaviour long-term, and consideration of the role of carers and partners may help to improve adherence to self-management programmes once healthcare professional support has stopped.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the measurement properties of the incremental shuttle walk test in patients with severe asthma.
Sally Majd,Sally Majd,Stacey Hewitt,Stacey Hewitt,Lindsay D. Apps,Anna Murphy,Anna Murphy,Peter Bradding,Peter Bradding,Sally Singh,Ruth H. Green,Ruth H. Green,Rachael A. Evans +12 more
TL;DR: The repeatability and validity of the incremental shuttle walk test distance compared to peak oxygen uptake during maximal incremental cycle ergometer and treadmill tests in adults with severe asthma is investigated.
