Abstract
Background Understandable, comprehensive, and accessible educational materials for patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) are lacking. Patients consistently ask for improved access to evidence-based information about ILD. Nonetheless, few research studies focus directly on developing and evaluating interventions to improve patient knowledge. Objective We describe the current landscape of patient education in ILD, identify gaps in current approaches to information delivery, and provide frameworks to address these challenges through novel educational tools. Methods A literature review was conducted in collaboration with a medical librarian (M.R.D.) in April 2022 using Ovid MEDLINE (1946-), Embase (1947-), Cochrane Central (1993-), and CINAHL (1961-). Search terms included "interstitial lung disease," "pulmonary fibrosis," "patient education," and "information seeking behavior" (see the data supplement for full search terms). Reference lists from selected articles were used to identify additional studies. Results Currently, patient education is commonly combined with exercise regimens in pulmonary rehabilitation programs in which benefits of the educational component alone are unclear. Few studies investigate improving knowledge access and acquisition for patients with ILD and their caregivers regarding self-management, oxygen use, and palliative care plans. Online distribution of health information through social media runs the risk of being unregulated and outdated, although it is an avenue of increasing accessibility. Conclusion By expanding access to novel ILD-specific education programs and accounting for social determinants of health that impact healthcare access, patient education has the potential to become more attainable, improving patient-centered outcomes. Further research into optimal development, delivery, and efficacy testing of patient education modalities in ILD is warranted.

Abstract
Objective The objectives of this systematic review were to assess the acceptability of self-management interventions for people with asthma and identify contributing factors. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE (OVIDWEB), CINAHL and Cochrane databases. Clinical trials design was included if they met specified criteria. A random-effect meta-regression analysis was conducted to estimate the overall acceptance and drop-out rates and to assess the potential factors that may influence the outcomes. Results A total of 64 studies were included and 8,092 participants were recruited and participated in the trials. The estimated acceptance rate was 51.1%, while the estimated drop-out rates in the intervention and control groups were 18.2% and 15.6%, respectively. Lack of interest was the main reported reason for refusing to participate and dropping out from the program. Study-related and program-related factors influenced the acceptance and drop-out rates statistically and clinically. Conclusion The acceptance rate of self-management programs among asthmatic people was not high and the dropout rate was somewhat low. The review suggests optimizing the design of self-management studies and modifying the implemented self-management programs to increase the acceptance rate and decrease the dropout rate.

Abstract
Allergies are a major public health burden, and targeted measures are required in terms of prevention and treatment. The most common allergic conditions encompass atopic dermatitis (AD), food allergy (FA), allergic asthma (AA), and allergic rhino-conjunctivitis (AR). Primary prevention aims at preventing the onset of allergic disease, before the disease process begins. Secondary prevention aims at preventing progression and exacerbation of allergic disease whereas tertiary prevention aims at reducing disease burden in patients with established disease, by allergen immunotherapy (AIT) or medical rehabilitation. Rehabilitation programs are used for treatment of AA and AD and usually consist of extensive patient assessment, optimization of treatment management, patient education, and behavioral interventions, ideally involving a multidisciplinary treatment team and sometimes provided in a specific climate, usually alpine or maritime. Similarly, prevention of occupational skin diseases requires interdisciplinary approaches on the level of secondary and tertiary preventive intervention; if this is provided, then prevention programs have proven highly (cost-) effective. Unfortunately, the recently published Minimal Standards of Prevention of these dermatoses, underlining especially the importance of meticulous allergological diagnosis and subsequent multidisciplinary patient education, are so far being adhered to only in very few European countries.

Abstract
Pulmonary rehabilitation of asthma and COPD patients can improve their physical performance and quality of life, maintain participation in social and professional life and actively promote self-help. In addition, the resources for acute medical treatment can be spared. In case of COPD, rehabilitation directly after exacerbation can also improve the poor survival prognosis and reduce the risk of emergency hospital readmission. Therefore, pulmonary rehabilitation is an essential component of evidence-based long-term management of both bronchial asthma and, in particular, COPD. In the German healthcare system, however, pneumological rehabilitation is offered only for a small fraction of patients. Despite a very good evidence of pulmonary rehabilitation, especially in COPD patients, their share in all rehabilitation services is remarkably low. It does not even amount to 3 % of all medical rehabilitation measures approved by the German Pension Insurance.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the effectiveness of a motivational-volitional program for women after breast cancer (MoVo-BnB) who engage less than 60 minutes per week in physical activity. METHODS This is a non-randomised, prospective bi-centered controlled trial in 2 in-patient medical rehabilitation centers. Data are assessed at 4 measurement points: at admission, discharge, 6 and 12 months post discharge. The control group (CG; n=266) has received the standard rehabilitation, and the intervention group (IG; n=279) attended additionally the group program (4 sessions lead by physiotherapeutic and health pedagogic personnel). The primary outcome is self-reported physical activity (BSA-F); secondary outcomes are health related quality of life (QLQ-C30), breast cancer specific quality of health (QLQ-BR23) and program acceptance. Analysis of change are performed by ANCOVA for each follow-up, adjusting for baseline values. RESULTS At 12 months follow up, the level of exercise in the intervention group is 22 min/week higher than in the control group (95% CI: 2,6 to 41.5; p=0.02). Further, 49.1% of the intervention group exercises for at least 60 min/week compared to 37.6% of the control group (p≤0.01). We have observed no significant differences between the groups for quality of life. The participants' evaluation of the intervention is positive and does not differ substantially between the 2 clinics (p=0.3). CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that a cognitive-behavioral program based on the motivation-volitional model can lead to long-term improvement in exercise behavior in breast cancer patients, who is initially minimally active. Physical activity should be encouraged after breast cancer diagnosis. The results suggest that practitioners working in cancer aftercare might like to consider using a motivational-volitional program for improving and maintaining physical activity behavior for physical sedentary target groups.

Abstract
Physical activity is reduced in people with asthma compared to the general population, especially in situations where patients have uncontrolled asthma symptoms, persistent airflow obstruction and other long-term medical problems, in particular obesity and anxiety. Exertional dyspnea, which is of multifactorial origin, is the main cause of reduced physical activity reduction and draws patients into a vicious circle further impairing quality of life and asthma control. Both the resumption of a regular physical activity, integrated into daily life, adapted to patients' needs and wishes as well as physical and environmental possibilities for mild to moderate asthmatics, and pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for severe and/or uncontrolled asthmatics, improve control of asthma, dyspnea, exercise tolerance, quality of life, anxiety, depression and reduce exacerbations. A motivational interview to promote a regular programme of physical activity in mild to moderate asthma (steps 1 to 3) should be offered by all health professionals in the patient care pathway, within the more general framework of therapeutic education. The medical prescription of physical activities, listed in the Public Health Code for patients with long-term diseases, and pulmonary rehabilitation should be performed more often by specialists or the attending physician. Pulmonary rehabilitation addresses the needs of severe asthma patients (steps 4 and 5), and of any asthmatic patient with poorly controlled disease and/or requiring hospitalized for acute exacerbations, regardless of the level of airflow obstruction, and/or with associated comorbidities, and before prescribing biological therapies.

Does a Train-the-Trainer Approach for Enhancing Healthcare Professionals' Skills in Patient Education during Inpatient Medical Rehabilitation Improve Patient Outcomes? Rehabil Res Pract 2020; 2020:8316256. [PMID: 32274215 PMCID: PMC7132594 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8316256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2019] [Accepted: 11/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
This study is aimed at identifying the impact of a team-based train-the-trainer program (TTT-P) to enhance healthcare professional (HCP) skills in patient education during medical rehabilitation. Focusing on patient-reported outcomes, a prospective, sequential two-cohort study was conducted in the fields of psychosomatic and oncological rehabilitation. Two hundred fifteen patients were evaluated before (Cohort 1) and 196 post implementation of TTT-P (Cohort 2). Patients of both cohorts completed validated questionnaires on self-management (heiQ®), general self-efficacy (GSE scale), and quality of life (WHOQOL-Bref) at the beginning, at the end, and at the 6-month follow-up to analyze short- and intermediate-term effects. Analyses were conducted separately for the psychosomatic and oncological setting. Results showed that TTT-P had no impact on patient outcomes in both rehabilitation settings. Patients did report positive outcomes as a result of the whole inpatient rehabilitation programs, though effects at follow-up were mostly small to medium size. Concerning self-management competencies, cancer patients gained less benefit during rehabilitation than psychosomatic patients. In conclusion, TTT-P did not result in measurable improvements at the patient level, likely because of the limited nature of the intervention. However, these populations of rehabilitants took benefit from participating in a multimodal rehabilitation program, of which patient education is one part.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asthma education (AE) is associated with reduced hospitalization and disability. We compared the effectiveness of an electronic AE program (eAEP) with a conventional face-to-face AE program (presence-based AEP; pAEP) for asthma knowledge (AK) with regard to self-management. METHODS A randomized controlled pilot study was conducted in a pulmonary reha- bilitation clinic. AK was determined by means of the Asthma Knowledge Test (AKT). The change in AKT score within each group was calculated with a paired t-test. Group differences were estimated with adjusted linear regression models. RESULTS In the intervention group (n = 41), the AKT score increased from 41.57 (standard deviation 5.63) at baseline to 45.82 (3.84) after completion of the eAEP (p < 0.001), and again to 47.20 (3.78) after completion of the pAEP (p = 0.046). In the control group (n = 41), the score increased from 41.73 (4.74) at baseline to 45.72 (3.65) after completion of the pAEP (p < 0.001). There was no relevant differ- ence in knowledge gain between the eAEP and the pAEP group after completion of the corresponding educational sessions (p = 0.881). The AKT score was higher in the eAEP group after obligatory participation in pAEP than in the group that only completed the pAEP (p = 0.020). CONCLUSION An internet-based AEP could help to reduce the knowledge deficits of a large proportion of patients with asthma.

Abstract
Background: Chronic diseases have an impact on and can change the lives of the persons affected by them. This study examines how a disease can influence patients’ daily lives, the strategies they adopt to cope, and their experiences of support. The study focuses on four chronic diseases: asthma-allergy, cancer, diabetes mellitus, and inflammatory rheumatic arthritis. Methods: The study has a qualitative design and includes 41 transcribed in-depth interviews and a content analysis. Results: The participants’ new life situation was changed for a very long time or forever, and this was not a voluntary choice. The new life situation comprised the following themes: life-changing—the disease could be a turning point in a negative or positive way, strategies—designed to create ways of coping with daily tasks to find a good quality of life, and support—that could be obtained from the participants’ private network or the healthcare professionals. Conclusions: The patients had to make changes in their daily life, and these could bring about different feelings and restrict activity. Healthcare professionals need more knowledge of the process of coping with such life-changing matters and what could strengthen patients and give a sense of empowerment in their lives.
