Plain English summary of protocol
COPD is characterized by progressively irreversible airflow limitation and 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 of COPD patients. However, patient buy-in or motivation is a major determinant of the extent of the benefits Pulmonary Rehabilitation attendees will gain. Pulmonary Rehabilitation has not yet been routinely implemented in Sri Lanka, and it is important that patient uptake and completion is maximised if a culturally appropriate Pulmonary Rehabilitation programme is embedded within routine healthcare. 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 healthcare workers support the implementation of a clinical Pulmonary Rehabilitation programme. At present, the awareness and opinions of healthcare workers in Sri Lanka is unknown. Collecting this data will enhance the implementation of a Pulmonary Rehabilitation programme in Sri Lanka.

| Ethics approval(s) | University of Leicester, UK |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease |
| Intervention | A questionnaire based survey |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | 1. Patients' enthusiasm for Pulmonary Rehabilitation and their preference regards delivery mode 2. Attitudes and beliefs of potential referrers to Pulmonary Rehabilitation and how they might best like to receive information and refer patients into the service |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. The need for Pulmonary Rehabilitation from patients with chronic lung disease 2. The mode of Pulmonary Rehabilitation that is acceptable to patients 3. The attitudes and beliefs of health care providers who would be potential referrers to Pulmonary Rehabilitation 4. The views of health care personnel on transfer of information and the mode of referral to the Pulmonary Rehabilitation service 5. Preliminary anonymous questionnaire data from potential candidates with chronic lung disease and healthcare workers on the need for Pulmonary Rehabilitation and their individual preferred modes of delivery |
