Comparing the effects of smartphone-based and face-to-face pulmonary rehabilitation education on caregiver burden and quality of life among the family caregivers of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a randomized controlled field trial

Abstract: Background Functional limitation among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and their dependence on their family caregivers (FCs) can significantly increase caregiver burden (CB) and reduce the quality of life (QOL) among FCs. Education of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) to FCs is a strategy with potential positive effects on CB. This study was conducted to compare the effects of smartphone-based and face-to-face (FTF) PR education on CB and QOL among the FCs of patients wi… Show more

“…In Otero’s (2020) study, conducting an intervention with a brief psychological approach through a smartphone application was effective in reducing caregivers’ depression symptoms [ 34 ]. Other studies in this regard have also benefited from this type of support intervention to improve the quality of life and reduce the burden of care for other diseases [ 35 , 36 ]. Nevertheless, most of the evidence related to interventions based on mobile phone applications has focused on chronic physical diseases, and less has addressed the caregivers of patients with mental disease.…”
