Effect of home-based nursing pulmonary rehabilitation on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : a randomised clinical trial . Fatigue is a common symptom of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) , and results in a reduction of daily activity and quality of life in patients with the disease . The authors aimed to identify the effect of home-based nursing pulmonary rehabilitation on fatigue , activities of daily living ( ADL ) and quality of life ( QOL ) in patients with COPD . A block randomisation method was used to randomise participants into case and control groups . Fatigue , ADL and QOL were assessed before and after the intervention in both groups . Independent and paired t-tests , chi-squared tests and covariance analysis were used to analysing data . Findings showed the significant decrease in the mean scores of fatigue ( p < 0.001 ) and significant improvement in mean scores of ADL ( p < 0.001 ) and QOL ( p < 0.001 ) after home-based nursing pulmonary rehabilitation in the case group . Home-based nursing pulmonary rehabilitation can be an effective , inexpensive and accessible programme for decreasing fatigue and improving ADL and QOL for patients with COPD .
