Abstract
Objective. To demonstrate the influence of PLB on the quality of life of COPD patients as measured by The Short-Form 36 questionnaire.
Methods. A prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial study was conducted at RSKP Paru Respira, Bantul, Yogyakarta. The subjects of the study were stable COPD patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The SF-36 score was assessed in both groups before and after 28 days (4 weeks). The independent variable PLB treatment and the dependent variable SF-36 score were measured before and after treatment. Statistical analysis was carried out by a mean difference test between the treatment group and the control group.
Results. Seventy-eight patients (mean age, 63 years) were randomized into the treatment group (n=41 patients) continuing standard therapy and doing 8-minute PLB for 28 days and the control group (n=37 patients) only continuing the previous standard therapy. The PLB treatment group showed an increase in the mean delta of the SF-36 score which was especially significant in aspects of physical function, physical role, and social function. There was a significant difference in the increase of average total SF-36 score in the PLB treatment (8.93 ± 15.85) compared to the control group (2.09 ± 8.15) of the 100 points total score (p=0.033).
Conclusion. There was an improvement in the SF-36 score in COPD patients who received standard therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation with a PLB technique for four weeks.
