Background and study aims
Tuberculosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary Rehabilitation includes exercise training, education and behaviour change support and has been successfully employed in health care institutions to improve the quality of life in patients with chronic lung disease. Little is known about the effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation on patients living with Tuberculosis. In order for Pulmonary Rehabilitation to be successful, patient buy-in or motivation is important to ensure patient uptake and completion is maximised. Furthermore, the specific details surrounding a culturally appropriate Pulmonary Rehabilitation programme are unknown. Information will be collected from patients that are suitable for attending Pulmonary Rehabilitation regards their opinions and perceptions, to optimise uptake in a culturally appropriate Pulmonary Rehabilitation programme. Similarly, it is important that the healthcare workers support the implementation of a clinical Pulmonary Rehabilitation programme. At present, the awareness and opinions of healthcare workers in Kyrgyzstan is unknown. Collecting this data will enhance the implementation of a Pulmonary Rehabilitation programme in Kyrgyzstan.

Who can participate?
Patients diagnosed with post-tuberculosis lung disease or healthcare professionals working with patients with chronic respiratory disease

What does the study involve?
Participants will answer a questionnaire on their attitudes and opinions regarding Pulmonary Rehabilitation

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?

Scientific titleThe attitudes and opinions of healthcare staff and patients living with post-tuberculosis lung disease regards the delivery of a clinical pulmonary rehabilitation programme: Global RECHARGE Kyrgyzstan
Study acronymGlobal RECHARGE Kyrgyzstan (Survey)
Study objectivesDespite being a common treatment for chronic lung disease in high income countries, Pulmonary Rehabilitation is not often implemented in low and middle income countries. Data is needed surrounding the perspectives and opinions of medical staff and patients living with chronic lung disease regards implementing and creating a clinical Pulmonary Rehabilitation service.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 16/09/2019, University of Leicester Ethics Committee (The University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester, LE1 7RH, United Kingdom; +44 (0)1162522522; ethicsapp@leicester.ac.uk), ref: 22293
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPost-tuberculosis lung disease
