Description
STUDY OVERVIEW
Full title:
A self -guided, internet -based intervention for patients with chronic breathlessness (SELF-BREATHE): an interview study.
- Objective
To understand the key factors that would enable / facilitate patients with chronic breathlessness to use an online breathlessness support intervention (SELF-BREATHE).
Study type:
Qualitative interview study
- Methods
Semi-structured qualitative interviews will be conducted to achieve maximum variation in approx 20 patients with chronic breathlessness (a purposive sample: age sex, diagnoses, and presence of caregiver).
The interview will explore and identify:
Patients' views/experiences of internet-based activities, e.g. digital apps, shopping online; Patients' understanding, preferences, values and motivations that would influence uptake of SELF-BREATHE; Potential barriers to the development and use of SELF-BREATHE; Facilitators to usage of SELF-BREATHE, such as the ability to self-monitor progress etc...
These topics cover areas of uncertainty in order to optimise the SELF - BREATHE intervention.
Inclusion criteria:
Adult patients >18 years of age, with the ability to read, converse in English and able to provide informed consent
Chronic breathlessness on exertion and or rest (MRC dysponea score >2)
Advanced disease such as cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic heart failure (CHF) or interstitial lung disease (ILD), where the underlying disease is deemed to be optimally medically managed by the referring clinician / allied health professional / clinical nurse specialist
Exclusion criteria:
Breathlessness of unknown cause
A primary diagnosis of chronic hyperventilation syndrome
