“…PR programmes are usually implemented by a dedicated multi-disciplinary team of healthcare professionals within hospitals or community settings (Spruit, 2013). The benefits of PR are well established including significant positive effects on quality of life and exercise capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (McCarthy et al, 2015;Jacome & Marques., 2014), however as asthma patients are increasingly being referred to the programme, systematic reviews have concluded that PR improves quality of life, exercise tolerance, symptoms, reduces the number of exacerbations and could improve pulmonary functions (Feng et al, 2021;Linhas et al, 2017).…”

Physical activity is promoted in the asthma population through pulmonary rehabilitation, but limited funding and facilities are available. This review aimed to examine the effectiveness of interventions that promote physical activity and identify the behaviour change techniques (BCTs) and other intervention components used. Five databases were searched, and 25 studies met the inclusion criteria. Interventions had a significant positive effect on physical activity, sedentary behaviour, quality of life and asthma symptoms. BCTs used across intervention and control groups were similar in studies that showed effects and those that did not. Future interventions should employ techniques that help to maintain behaviour change.

“…Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is a program for people with respiratory conditions, which provides emotional and educational support, followed by exercise classes designed to teach breathing techniques and build lung strength [26]. It is considered a key intervention for some chronic respiratory conditions [26,27]. Despite being an important intervention, studies show that dropout rates are considerable, due to a variety of reasons including illness, hospitalization, tiredness and transport issues [28,29].…”

Chronic respiratory conditions (CRCs) are life-long diseases affecting millions of people worldwide. They have a huge impact on individuals' everyday lives, resulting in a number of physical and emotional challenges. Self-management interventions for CRCs are thought to provide empowerment and improve quality of life. However, despite the number of people living with CRCs, most self-management tools in previous HCI work have been designed without the insight of those affected by the conditions. In this paper, we contribute to the literature by investigating the experiences and everyday challenges faced by those with CRCs, through the involvement of 156 participants via interviews and an anonymous survey. Our findings reveal the self-care challenges of CRCs and the reactive management approaches taken by participants. We conclude by providing a set of design implications that support the design of future self-management tools for CRCs.
