Background Although home telemonitoring (TM) is a promising approach for patients managing their chronic disease, rehabilitation using home TM has not been tested for use with individuals living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) residing in underserved communities. Objective This study aimed to analyze qualitative data from focus groups with key stakeholders to ensure the acceptability and usability of the TM COPD intervention. Methods We utilized a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to adapt a home TM COPD intervention to facilitate acceptability and feasibility in low-income African American and Hispanic patients. The study engaged community stakeholders in the process of modifying the intervention in the context of 2 community advisory board meetings. Discussions were audio recorded and professionally transcribed and lasted approximately 2 hours each. Structural coding was used to mark responses to topical questions in interview guides. Results We describe herein the formative process of a CBPR study aimed at optimizing telehealth utilization among African American and Latino patients with COPD from underserved communities. A total of 5 major themes emerged from qualitative analyses of community discussions: equipment changes, recruitment process, study logistics, self-efficacy, and access. The identification of themes was instrumental in understanding the concerns of patients and other stakeholders in adapting the pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) home intervention for acceptability for patients with COPD from underserved communities. Conclusions These findings identify important adaptation recommendations from the stakeholder perspective that should be considered when implementing in-home PR via TM for underserved COPD patients.

Literature Reviews

Introduction: The frequency of natural disaster in Indonesia has increased recently, while there were still less capacity to overcome the respiratory problem as an impact of disaster. Subjects who havechronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) need to have more attention in dealing with disaster setting.Methods: Literature reviews from the last ten years to find the data of the respiratory-related disease on disaster setting, which need pulmonary rehabilitation.Discussion: Subjects with COPD can get worse aftermath of natural disasters. The number of COPD exacerbation aftermath disaster was increased 1.5 fold. Pulmonary rehabilitation by trained patient forthe self-management of the symptoms was effective to reduce complication, increase the function and social integration.Conclusion: Pulmonary rehabilitation by optimizing community based training for self-management was effective as preparedness for COPD patients in natural disasters.Keywords: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Community based training, Natural Disaster, Pulmonary Rehabilitation
