BACKGROUND: @entity1650 multidisciplinary pulmonary rehabilitation is vital in the management of @entity1030 ( @entity1030 ) and is considered for any stage of the disease. Rehabilitation programmes are often centre-based and organised in groups. However, the distance from the @entity1 's home to the centre and lack of transportation may hinder participation. Rehabilitation at home can improve access to care for @entity1 regardless of disease severity. We had previously studied the technology usability and acceptability of a comprehensive home rehabilitation programme designed for @entity1 with very severe @entity1030 receiving long-term @entity26 therapy. The acceptability of such comprehensive home programmes for those with less severe @entity1030 , who may be less homebound, is not known. The aims of this feasibility study were to assess @entity1 acceptability of the delivery mode and components of a @entity358 programme for any stage of @entity1030 , as well as the technology usability, @entity1 outcomes and economic aspects. METHODS: Ten @entity1 with @entity1030 in the Global Initiative for @entity1030 (GOLD) grade I-IV were enrolled in a 9-week home programme and divided into two rehabilitation groups, with five @entity1 in each group. The programme included exercise training and self-management education in online groups of @entity1 , and individual online consultations. The @entity1 also kept a digital health diary. To assess the acceptability of the programme, the @entity1 were interviewed after the intervention using a semi-structured interview guide. In addition the number of sessions attended was observed. The usability of the technology was assessed using interviews and the System Usability Scale questionnaire. The St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) was used to measure health-related quality of life. RESULTS: The mode of delivery and the components of the programme were well accepted by the @entity1 . The programme provided an environment for learning from both healthcare professionals and peers, for asking questions and discussing disease-related issues and for group exercising. The @entity1 considered that it facilitated health-enhancing behaviours and social interactions with a social group formed among the @entity1 . Even @entity1 who were potentially less homebound appreciated the home group and social aspects of the programme. The @entity1 found the technology easy to learn and use. The acceptability and usability results were consistent with those in our previous study of @entity1 with very severe @entity1030 . Only the mean change in the SGRQ total score of -6.53 (CI 95  % -0.38 to -12.68, p  =  0.04) indicates a probable clinically significant effect. Economic calculations indicated that the cost of the programme was feasible. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate that @entity358 delivered in home-based online groups may be feasible in @entity1030 . The mode of delivery and components of the programme appeared to be acceptable across @entity1 with different disease severity. The results in terms of @entity1 outcomes are inconclusive, and further assessment is needed.
