Abstract

While Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) affects the whole world, most affected group is geriatric individuals. There is a need for strategies for geriatric individuals returning to society and their social life. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of an 8-week home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation program on quality of life, depression, anxiety and functional capacity in geriatric individuals with COVID-19. Twenty-five patients were included in this prospective study. Patients over 65 years of age with COVID-19 were evaluated. Physical capacity with the 6-minute walking test (6MWT), dyspnea status with the Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, quality of life with the Short Form-36 (SF-36), depression and anxiety with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were evaluated. The mean age of the patients included in the study was 68.9 ± 6.4 years. 56% of the patients were men and 44% were women. When pre-treatment and post-treatment values were compared, a significant improvement was found in the 6MWT, dyspnea scores, SF-36 and all subgroups, anxiety and depression scores (p <0.05). This study shows that the home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation program is an effective method on parameters such as quality of life, depression and physical capacity in geriatric individuals with COVID-19. Prospective large-scale studies are needed to validate our current results.

Özet

Coronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COVID-19) tüm dünyayı etkilerken en çok etkilenen grup geriatrik bireylerdir. Geriatrik bireylerin topluma ve sosyal yaşamlarına dönmeleri için bazı stratejilere ihtiyaç vardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19'lu geriatrik bireylerde 8 haftalık ev temelli Pulmoner Rehabilitasyon programının yaşam kalitesi, depresyon, anksiyete ve fonksiyonel kapasite üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Bu prospektif çalışmaya 25 hasta dahil edildi. COVID-19 geçirmiş 65 yaş üstü hastalar değerlendirildi. Fiziksel kapasite 6 dakikalık yürüme testi (6DYT) ile, dispne durumlar Medical Research Council Dispne Skalası ile, yaşam kalitesi Kısa Form-36 (KF-36) ile, depresyon ve anksiyete durumları ise Hastane Anksiyete ve Depresyon Ölçeği ile değerlendirildi. Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların ortalama yaşı 68.9 ± 6.4 idi. Hastaların% 56'sı erkek,% 44'ü kadındı. Tedavi öncesi ve tedavi sonrası değerler karşılaştırıldığında 6DYT, dispne skorları, SF-36, anksiyete ve depresyon skorlarında anlamlı iyileşme saptandı (p <0.05). Bu çalışma, ev tabanlı Pulmoner Rehabilitasyon programının COVID-19'lu geriatrik bireylerde yaşam kalitesi, depresyon ve fiziksel kapasite gibi parametreler üzerinde etkili bir yöntem olduğunu göstermektedir. Mevcut sonuçlarımızı doğrulamak için ileriye dönük büyük örneklem büyüklüğüne sahip çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
