Medical-and-psychological rehabilitation programme for patients with chronic obstructive lung diseases
Abstract
Analysis of papers shows that treatment of patients with chronic obstructive lung diseases (COPD) requires a complex approach and a certain type of psychological addition to medication. A programme of medical-and-psychological rehabilitation based on results of investigation of clinical and psychological features of the patients was created to improve the treatment outcome. We performed a complex examination of 182 COPD patients. The results allowed to develop the programme of medical-and-psychological rehabilitation of the COPD patients which included positive information, regulated medication, and correction measures. This programme was tested in 112 patients. A statistically reliable tendency to harmonizing the consideration of the disease was noted. While applying the programme daytime and nighttime COPD symptoms and need in bronchodilators reduced in males and females, number of BALF neutrophils decreased and amount of alveolar macrophages grew. The statistical reliability of the results allows thinking that the treatment efficacy of the COPD patients is higher when using this programme. The programme can be applied by a group of specialists both in inpatient and outpatient facilities. The patients attending the educating course form a united supporting group.
