• Adherence and factors affecting satisfaction in long-term telerehabilitation for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a mixed methods study 

      Hoaas, Hanne; Andreassen, Hege K; Lien, Linda Aarøen; Hjalmarsen, Audhild; Zanaboni, Paolo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-25)
      <i>Background</i>: Telemedicine may increase accessibility to pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), thus enhancing long-term exercise maintenance. We aimed to explore COPD patients’ adherence and experiences in long-term telerehabilitation to understand factors affecting satisfaction and potential for service improvements.<p> <p><i>Methods</i>: A two-year pilot ...
    • Are physical activity and benefits maintained after long-term telerehabilitation in COPD? 

      Hoaas, Hanne; Morseth, Bente; Holland, Anne E.; Zanaboni, Paolo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      This study investigated whether physical activity levels and other outcomes were maintained at 1-year from completion of a 2-year telerehabilitation intervention in COPD. During the post-intervention year, nine patients with COPD (FEV1 % of pred. 42.4±19.8%; age 58.1±6 years) were encouraged to exercise on a treadmill at home and monitor daily symptoms and training sessions on a webpage as during ...
    • Long-term exercise maintenance in COPD via telerehabilitation: a two-year pilot study 

      Zanaboni, Paolo; Hoaas, Hanne; Lien, Linda Aarøen; Hjalmarsen, audhild; Wootton, Richard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-16)
      <i>Introduction -</i> Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an integral part of the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, many patients do not access or complete PR, and long-term exercise maintenance has been difficult to achieve after PR. This study aimed to investigate feasibility, long-term exercise maintenance, clinical effects, quality of life and use of hospital ...
    • Long-term exercise maintenance via telerehabilitation for people with COPD. Feasibility, effectiveness, benefits and challenges 

      Hoaas, Hanne (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-06-06)
      Background and aims: The availability of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) and exercise maintenance programs for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is low, despite being beneficial and recommended. Telerehabilitation can support the delivery of such programs to patients’ homes. However, there is little knowledge of its benefits for people with COPD. This thesis aimed to investigate ...
    • Long-term integrated telerehabilitation of COPD Patients: A multicentre randomised controlled trial (iTrain) 

      Zanaboni, Paolo; Dinesen, Birthe; Hjalmarsen, Audhild; Hoaas, Hanne; Holland, Anne E.; Oliveira, Cristino Carneiro; Wootton, Richard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-22)
      <i>Background</i>: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an effective intervention for the management of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, available resources are often limited, and many patients bear with poor availability of programmes. Sustaining PR benefits and regular exercise over the long term is difficult without any exercise maintenance strategy. In contrast ...
    • Long-Term Telerehabilitation or Unsupervised Training at Home for Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial 

      Zanaboni, Paolo; Dinesen, Birthe; Hoaas, Hanne; Wootton, Richard; Burge, Angela T.; Philp, Rochelle; Oliveira, Cristino Carneiro; Bondarenko, Janet; Jensen, Torben Tranborg; Miller, Belinda; Holland, Anne E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-08)
      Rationale: Despite the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), many patients do not access or complete pulmonary rehabilitation, and long-term maintenance of exercise is difficult. Objectives: To compare long-term telerehabilitation or unsupervised treadmill training at home with standard care. Methods: In an international randomized controlled trial, ...
    • Seasonal variations in objectively assessed physical activity among people with COPD in two Nordic countries and Australia: a cross-sectional study 

      Hoaas, Hanne; Zanaboni, Paolo; Hjalmarsen, Audhild; Morseth, Bente; Dinesen, Birthe; Burge, Angela T.; Cox, Narelle S.; Holland, Anne E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-05)
      <i>Purpose</i>: Seasons and weather conditions might influence participation in physical activity and contribute to differences between countries. This study aimed at investigating whether there were differences in physical activity levels between Norwegian, Danish and Australian people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and establishing if any variations in physical activity were ...
