Summary
The "Online Viva" program improved COPD management for seniors through online consultations and respiratory training. This approach reduced hospitalizations and enhanced patient well-being.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Digital Health
- Respiratory Medicine
Background:
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) management presents challenges for elderly individuals.
- Traditional district nursing care for COPD patients involves in-home visits.
- The need for innovative healthcare delivery models is increasing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the effectiveness of the
- Online Viva
- municipal rehabilitation program.
- To determine if the program improves participatory health in citizens with COPD.
- To assess the program's ability to prevent COPD exacerbations.
Main Methods:
- An explorative, qualitative study design.
- Involved 9 citizens and 5 health professionals.
- Examined the
- Online Viva
- program (2014-2015) which utilized online communication for respiratory training and district nursing consultancy, replacing in-home visits.
Main Results:
- Preliminary findings indicate online consultations and training prevent anxiety and COPD exacerbations.
- Citizens reported reduced hospitalization needs, confirmed by district nurses.
- The program supported citizens' COPD management, fulfilling their specific needs and increasing comfort.
Conclusions:
- The
- Online Viva
- program shows potential in managing COPD in elderly populations via digital health solutions.
- Personal contact prior to online interaction and the option for in-home visits are crucial for success.
- Online consultations can effectively supplement traditional healthcare, improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare utilization.

COPD is defined as a heterogeneous lung condition marked by persistent respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and sputum production, caused by abnormalities in the airways that cause airflow obstruction.
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...

01:20Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-I: Introduction
4.2K
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-lasting respiratory condition requiring continuous attention and care. It is a progressive lung disease that leads to breathing challenges due to airflow obstruction. It manifests as persistent respiratory symptoms and restricted airflow resulting from abnormalities in the airways and alveoli, usually due to long-term exposure to harmful particles or gases. COPD mainly consists of two primary conditions: emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
