Trial Identification

Brief Title: A Series of Study in Testing Efficacy of Pulmonary Rehabilitation Interventions in Lung Cancer Survivors

Official Title: A Series of Study in Testing Efficacy of Pulmonary Rehabilitation Interventions in Lung Cancer Survivors

Study ID: NCT03918538

Conditions

Lung Cancer

Study Description

Brief Summary: Aim: To develop and testing a home exercise program for lung cancer survivors to improve their exercise tolerance and quality of life during the rehabilitation phase. Design: An experimental design will be used in the study. The 90 lung cancer survivors, who were diagnosed with lung cancer within one year and have completed their initial cancer treatment, will be recruited and randomized to the control or intervention group. After pre-test, the intervention participants will receive a 60 minutes of teaching regarding the home rehabilitation exercise program, with a printed exercise manual. The intervention participant will also receive a weekly phone call from the interventionist to enhance their exercise adherence and helping to overcome exercise barriers. The similar outcome measures as study one will be assessed on the baseline, 1th month, 3th month, and 6th month. Measurements: The study outcomes will be evaluated by three physical measures, six-minute walk test, Modified Borg Scale, 30-second Chair Sit-to-Stand Test, and 30-second Chair Sit-to-Stand Test, as well as a study questionnaire including Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) and FACIT-Fatigue. For study one the following data will be collected from the patient'schart: post-operative pulmonary complications, days of chest tube insertion, and days of hospitalization. Data analysis: Descriptive analysis will be used to describe patients'demongraphics, disease variables, and outcome variables. The Chi-square, T-test, and General Linear Mix-effect Model will be used to test the efficacy of the study interventions.

Detailed Description: Background: With appropriate treatment, lung cancer patients can be a long-term survivor. However, many patients suffered from post-operative pulmonary complications, limited activity tolerance, and poor quality of life. Nurses in a great position to provide individualized health education regarding exercise for these patients; therefore to develop and test cost-effective nurses-lead lung rehabilitation exercise education programs deserver further scientific efforts. Aim: To develop and testing a home exercise program for lung cancer survivors to improve their exercise tolerance and quality of life during the rehabilitation phase.

The Chi-square, T-test, and General Linear Mix-effect Model will be used to test the efficacy of the study interventions. Significance: The study results will provide evidence for the efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation and a home exercise program for enhancing exercise tolerance and quality of life in lung cancer survivors.
