Background: Adherence to self-care recommendations is associated with improved patient outcomes and improved quality of life for people living with heart failure. The Home-Heart-Walk (HHW) is an intervention to promote physical activity adapting the elements of a six minute walk test, a reliable and valid measure. This adaptation was designed to support self-monitoring of physical functioning and promote the self-care of people with heart failure. The primary outcome of the Home-Heart-Walk was perceived physical functioning and the secondary outcomes were six-minute walk test distance, health related quality of life, self-care behaviour, self-efficacy and physical activity level. Methods: A multicentre randomized controlled trial. Participants ( N=132) were recruited from three academic hospitals in Sydney, Australia. Participants were randomized to either the Home-Heart-Walk group or the control group. Perceived physical functioning, health related quality of life, self-care behaviour, exercise self-efficacy and physical activity level were measured at baseline and at three- and six-month follow-up. Results: After adjusting for baseline scores, there were no statistically significant between-group differences in perceived physical functioning, six-minute walk test distance, health related quality of life and exercise self-efficacy at follow-up. The intervention group had improvement in self-care behaviour ( F(1,129) = 4.75, p = 0.031) and physical activity level ( U = 1713, z = −2.12, p = 0.034) at the six-month follow-up compared with the control group. Conclusion: The Home-Heart-Walk did not improve the perceived physical functioning of the intervention group. Although the feasibility and acceptability of this strategy to support self-monitoring and improve self-care behaviour was demonstrated, self-reported adherence was unreliable; newer technologies may offer better assessment of adherence.

ABSTRACTBackground: Self-management programs are very important in the care of patients with COPD as an independent intervention in an effort to improve health status. Aim: Of this systematic review is to find out the form of self-management intervention in COPD patients, an instrument to measure the outcomes of self-management and the effects of self-management programs in COPD patients. Methods: Used are electronic data bases from journals published through ProQuest, PubMed., And ScienceDirect. Results: Of a review of 9 selected journals stated that self-management programs had an influence on increasing lung capacity, exercise capacity and health-related quality of life compared to patients who experienced standard care. The research instrument was used to measure lung capacity using spirometry, Exercise capacity used a six-minute walking distance (6MWD), Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT) and the Endurance Shuttle Walk Test (ESWT), and health-related quality of life measured by St George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). The results showed that the effects of self-management programs benefited in the quality of care, reduced the number of days of hospital care and did not increase the number of deaths. Conclusion: Self-management programs in COPD patients provide the ability to manage disease so that it can increase lung capacity, exercise capacity and quality of life related to health. Keywords: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, exercise capasity, lung   capacity self management program, quality of life
