Abstract
COVID-19 is a disease characterized by involvement in multiple tissues and organs throughout the body, especially lung damage. Clinically, most patients have symptoms of fever, cough, fatigue, anorexia, shortness of breath, and myalgia. COVID-19 affects people both physically and psychologically. Pulmonary rehabilitation is defined as a multidisciplinary intervention based on exercise training, behavioral modification, personalized assessment and treatment designed to improve the physical and psychological state of people with respiratory disease. The aim of pulmonary rehabilitation is to reduce the patient's dyspnea and increase the efficiency of breathing, to prevent complications of long-term bed rest, to reduce the duration of hospitalization by reducing the symptom burden of the disease. It is seen that pulmonary rehabilitation is possible and safe in the acute phase of the disease, and it also increases the patient's exercise capacity, muscle strength and endurance, self-efficacy and knowledge level, participation in daily life activities and quality of life. In addition, considering the possibility of long-term disability in post-discharge COVID-19 patients, outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation should be planned in the post-discharge period. Therefore, acute treatment of COVID-19 and post-discharge pulmonary rehabilitation are very important. Nurses, who are important members of the multidisciplinary team in pulmonary rehabilitation, take an active role in managing respiratory problems of patients, increasing endurance, reducing respiratory fatigue and anxiety.
