Materials & Methods: This study was a semi experimental research. The samples
were consisted of 36 patients who were selected based on inclusion and
exclusion criteria into control and experimental groups through random block
sampling. For each of the experimental group 3 sessions of 1 hour raining over
three consecutive days were done individually and it continuous up to 7 days
after the patients discharged from the hospital. However, the control group was
under the regular manner. Fatigue and quality
of life in both groups before the intervention and 7
weeks after discharge using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and quality of
life questionnaire SF-12 were
compared. The data were analyzed through
inferential and descriptive statistic (Independent and paired t-test, chi-square
and covariance analysis).
Results: Eta squared
values obtained in this experiment also showed that the effect
of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program on fatigue (89%) is greater than the
quality of life (50%), respectively.
Conclusion: As the findings indicate, the effect of home-based pulmonary
rehabilitation nursing care, which has the decreasing factor on fatigue is more
than the quality of life in patients
with COPD.
