Abstract

Objectives Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic disease with numerous complications. Therefore, its effective management depends on home-based pulmonary rehabilitation. The effectiveness of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation programmes in turn depends on patient adherence to them. The aim of this study was to explore the barriers to adherence to home-based pulmonary rehabilitation among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Design Qualitative descriptive design. Setting The lung care wards of Al-Zahra and Khorshid teaching hospitals and the comprehensive lung care clinic of Khorshid hospital, Isfahan, Iran. Participants Participants patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (n=20), their family caregivers (n=15) and healthcare providers (n=14) recruited via purposive sampling. Results The five main categories of the barriers to adherence to home-based pulmonary rehabilitation among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were patient-related barriers, caregivers' caregiving burden, limited support for patients, healthcare providers' limited professional competence and ineffective home-based pulmonary rehabilitation planning. Conclusion Different and complex factors related to patients, families and healthcare providers can affect adherence to home-based pulmonary rehabilitation among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Healthcare authorities can use the findings of this study to develop strategies to support patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and their family caregivers and thereby reduce the physical and mental complications of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. © 2023 BMJ Publishing Group.
