“…Results of other studies have shown similar barriers to PR in other countries: poor referral rates, lack of perceived benefits of the program by physicians and patients, limited availability of and access to services, insufficient programs and an inadequate number of qualified health professionals and patients-related factors [ 26 – 30 ]. According to the literature on PR “a significant barrier to the effective utilization of pulmonary rehabilitation” in the community is the lack of patient referrals, likely due to a lack of awareness among healthcare providers of the nature and benefits of this intervention.…”

Background Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is not very often used by physicians in Lebanon despite evidence on its positive effects on health-related quality of life. Aim This study assesses the knowledge, attitudes and practices of PR among physicians in Lebanon. In addition, the study identifies the main barriers to access to PR according to chest physicians. Insight into these issues will help to increase awareness about the need for PR programs and can contribute to designing such programs in the country. Methods A survey was conducted during the regional conference of the Lebanese Pulmonary Society. One week after the initial survey, the survey questionnaire was sent by email to all chest physicians who were registered with the Lebanese Pulmonary Society but did not attend the conference. A 25-item questionnaire was used to collect information on PR. Results Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The response rate was 40%. Results show that only one-third of Lebanese chest physicians have good knowledge about the nature and multidisciplinary content of PR. Physicians generally support the current “Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program” in Beirut. Key barriers found are the lack of referral, lack of motivation by patients due to their health, cost of care and lack of qualified health care specialists in Lebanon. Conclusion Absence of awareness and education about PR among healthcare providers plays an important role in increasing access to the “Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program”. Awareness campaigns and education for physicians, health care professionals and patients should be considered to increase PR in the country.

“…In India, the concept of PR was adopted into COPD care probably in the 1990s in the southern part of India. However, it came into practice at the beginning of the twenty first century [35]. Nevertheless, effective implementation of PR in clinical practice in India is still lacking.…”

“…Interestingly, PR is not limited to people with chronic lung conditions but also recommended for patients with musculoskeletal disorders and heart failure. Starting PR in the earlier stages of the disease has a greater impact on the treatment process and enhancing the patient’s quality of life ( 8 , 74 ). The modified Medical Research Council Breathlessness (mMRC) is used to assess the degree of baseline functional disability due to dyspnoea.…”

Pneumoconiosis is a collection of lung diseases caused by inhaling mineral dust that poses an important risk to public health worldwide. Effective clinical treatments are currently limited, but pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has shown promise in treating respiratory diseases. This review aims to assess the effectiveness of PR strategies for treating pneumoconiosis. We searched research studies that investigated the effectiveness of PR interventions for pneumoconiosis patients in international scientific databases and comprehensively reviewed PR strategies for the treatment of pneumoconiosis. Pneumoconiosis patients are increasingly being treated with a multimodal PR program. PR interventions could save healthcare costs, reduce dyspnea, improve exercise performance, and enhance overall health-related quality of life in patients with pneumoconiosis. PR interventions are effective in improving respiratory function and quality of life in patients with pneumoconiosis. However, further research is needed to determine the optimal PR strategies for pneumoconiosis patients and to investigate the long-term effects of these interventions.
