A home-based intervention to promote mindful breathing awareness through pursed-lip breathing training for COPD patients

项目摘要/摘要 卫生部建议开发一种系统来指导慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者 (慢性阻塞性肺病)在家中完成有意识的呼吸练习。慢性阻塞性肺病是美国第三大死因。 而且没有治愈的方法。呼吸急促是最常见的致残症状。留心的皱唇 呼吸是一种呼吸练习，已经证明对COPD患者有效。它需要 要维护的做法，目前没有家庭系统可以提供所需的反馈和支持 维护公共汽车。此外，同步呼吸和心率变化为患者提供了额外的好处。这个 拟议的项目探索在已经有效和开发的基础上增加正念呼吸模块 以家庭为基础的康复计划，指导COPD患者进行有意识的呼吸练习并进一步缓解 气喘吁吁，焦虑不安。

Project Summary/Abstract MHS proposes the development of a system to guide patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to complete a mindful breathing practice at home. COPD is the third leading cause of death in the United States and no cure exists. Shortness of breath is the most common disabling symptom. Mindful pursed lips breathing is a type of breathing practice that has demonstrated effectiveness for patients with COPD. It requires practice to maintain and there is currently no home system to provide the needed feedback and support to maintain PLB. Additionally, syncing breathing and heart rate variation offers patients additional benefits. The proposed project explores the addition of a mindful breathing module to an already effective and developed home based rehabilitation program to guide COPD patients in a mindful breathing practice and further palliate breathlessness and anxiety.
