Feasibility of a 8-week Telerehabilitation Program for Patients With Thoracic Neoplasia Receiving Chemotherapy (TELErp)
Feasibility of an Eight-week Telerehabilitation Program for Patients With Unresectable Thoracic Neoplasia Receiving Chemotherapy
Exercise-based rehabilitation improves physical function, fatigue and quality of life in patients with thoracic neoplasia. Consequently, the need for rehabilitation across the continuum of care in oncology is growing rapidly. However, the implementation of this type of intervention is limited because of many barriers such as patients' symptoms and poor accessibility to programs. In this context, healthcare systems should develop and implement new approaches to dispense these services. Consequently, telerehabilitation is a promising strategy to improve access and adherence to rehabilitation.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the feasibility, adherence and satisfaction of a home-based telerehabilitation program (TELERP) with real-time physiological parameters acquisition in patients with unresectable thoracic neoplasia receiving chemotherapy and to explore its effects on patients' functional capacity.
METHODS Five patients receiving chemotherapy followed an 8-week TELERP using real-time monitoring combined with interactive exercises. The TELERP included supervised (15) and unsupervised (9) strengthening and cardiovascular exercise sessions at a rate of 3 sessions/week. The feasibility of the TELERP, adverse outcomes, technical issues, program adherence and satisfaction were analysed. Prior to and after the program, a six-minute walking test (6MWT), a timed up and go (TUG) and a timed stair test (TST) were done to assess functional capacity

The intervention was an 8-week home-based telerehabilitation program (three sessions of about 75 minutes per week) using the eChez-Soi telerehabilitation platform. Through a unique software interface, the eChez-Soi allows for the following three technological aspects: 1- continuous data acquisition and recording from commercial biometric sensors; 2- continuous transmission of the collected data via the Internet to the clinician's computer, allowing the clinician to visualize the biomechanical and physiological parameters in real time; and 3- a challenging gaming environment with interactive exercises performed on musical rhythms. In total, 15 supervised sessions and 9 unsupervised sessions were planned for a total of 24 exercise sessions |

Adherence of the participants to the 8-week telerehabilitation program.
기간: Along the 8-week program

Adherence was defined as the number of sessions done over the prescribed sessions (supervised and unsupervised) and as percentage of time spent within the target heart rate range (intensities) throughout the cardiovascular exercise sessions

Participants satisfaction with the telerehabilitation platform with the Québec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology questionnaire (QUEST 2.0)
기간: At the end of the 8-week telerehabilitation program
|
The satisfaction of the patients was evaluated using a questionnaire adapted from the Québec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology questionnaire (QUEST 2.0) that calculates both satisfaction scores for technological aspects and services.
It consists of 12 items rated on a scale from 1 to 5 (1: not satisfied at all to 5: very satisfied).

User satisfaction with health services received with the French version of the Health Care Satisfaction Questionnaire
기간: At the end of the 8-week telerehabilitation program
|
To assess more specifically the user satisfaction with health services received, we used the French version of the Health Care Satisfaction Questionnaire.
This is a 26-item questionnaire answered on a four-point Likert scale, where ''1'' represents ''not at all satisfied'' and ''4'' represents ''highly satisfied".
The total score is calculated in percentage and can be computed as the mean overall satisfaction divided in three domains: i) relationship with the professional, ii) delivery of services and iii) organization of services.
Higher scores indicate a higher level of satisfaction.
