目的：本研究的目的是调查心理，生理和行为表现变量的变化作为肺运动康复的功能。研究设计和参与者：招募40例诊断为慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）的患者参加为期12周的门诊肺康复计划。措施：测量指标包括6分钟步行距离（运动耐量）、6分钟步行距离自我效能、总体生活质量、呼吸困难、疲劳和情绪功能。结果：结果显示，无论疾病的严重程度如何，在这些措施中的每一个项目的过程中都有显着的改善。此外，运动耐量的改善与自我效能的增加显著相关，而自我效能又与生活质量的改善显著相关。结论：研究结果支持社会认知理论的原则，并表明参与门诊肺康复计划可以为COPD患者提供生理和心理方面的益处。
Objective: The objective of the present study was to investigate changes in psychological, physiological, and behavioral-performance variables as a function of pulmonary exercise rehabilitation. Study Design and Participants: Forty patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were recruited for participation in a 12-week outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program. Measures: Measures included 6-min walking distance (exercise tolerance), 6-min walking distance self-efficacy, overall quality of life, dyspnea, fatigue, and emotional function. Results: Results revealed significant improvements over the course of the program in each of these measures, regardless of disease severity. In addition, improvements in exercise tolerance were significantly associated with increases in self-efficacy, which, in turn, were significantly related to improved quality of life. Conclusions: The results support the tenets of social-cognitive theory and suggest that participation in an outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program can provide both physiological and psychological benefits for individuals with COPD.
