“…Peer support is considered a core component of programmes to support self‐management for patients with chronic disease. A recent study by Aboumatar et al 42 examined the addition of peer support to formalised and structured healthcare support programmes for people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They found that patients who received peer support in addition to healthcare professional support for COPD had fewer COPD‐related acute care events at 6 months, yet this failed to translate to improved health‐related quality of life 42 …”

BackgroundChronic lung disease is a common and complex condition. Pulmonary rehabilitation programmes—either hospital‐based or in the community are recommended in evidence‐based clinical practice guidelines.AimTo explore the experience of older people with chronic lung disease involved in a peer support community‐based exercise maintenance programme.Design and MethodParticipants were a part of the Lungs in Action programme run in a local community leisure centre through Lung Foundation Australia. All the programme participants (n = 25) were invited by an independent person through email and/or letter to participate in the study and provided with a participant information and consent form. Participants who returned consent forms were scheduled for group interviews. Participants were recruited over a 2‐week period between 30 August and 13 September 2022. We conducted qualitative group interviews using a semi‐structured interview guide to explore the experiences of older people living with chronic lung disease. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.ResultsA total of 14 participants (eight female and six male) aged between 64 and 86 years were interviewed. Three themes emerged from the data: motivation, authentic social engagement, and sustainable achievement. Motivation stemmed from the participants' perceived health benefits, and from the trainers' motivation and encouragement. Participants discussed how sharing experiences created an environment of trust and understanding, fun and friendship. Social engagement and creating authentic relationships were key aspects raised by participants. Feeling more confident in themselves and being able to accomplish physical tasks, making activities of daily living more manageable featured highly in participants' responses.Discussion and ConclusionCommunity‐based peer support exercise groups enable environments for people with chronic lung disease to maintain physical fitness, and to connect with others to form friendships and have fun.

Poorly controlled chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can negatively impact quality of life but mobile applications (apps) are popular digital tools that may mitigate these support needs. However, it is unclear if public mobile COPD apps are acceptable to healthcare professionals and patients, people living with COPD. Objectives: The primary objective is to determine people with COPD and healthcare professionals' perspectives on the appropriateness of public mobile COPD apps for supporting individuals’ needs. The secondary objectives were to identify the ideal features and styles of mobile COPD apps for COPD self-management; and to identify the facilitators, barriers and needs for future COPD app research and development. Methods: Public mobile COPD apps were rated by questionnaires administered before and after focus group meetings. Ratings were reported as medians with interquartile ranges and median scores were categorized into three levels of appropriateness: 1-3 for inappropriate; 4-6 for uncertain; and 7-9 for appropriate. Results: A total of 6 people with COPD (mean age 68.2 ± 4.8years) and 22 healthcare professionals (mean age 45 ± 8.3years) completed this study. People with COPD identified one and healthcare professionals identified three public mobile COPD apps to be appropriate. They had different preferences for features and engagement styles but similar preferences for facilitators and barriers to use. Stakeholders mutually rated one public mobile COPD app as appropriate for self-management and emphasized the need for apps to be supplementary and customizable, rather than replacements for clinical management.
