dc.description.abstract | Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of a walking exercise program, three times a week for 8 weeks, on fatigue in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Design: This study was a randomized controlled trial. Methods: Walking exercise was applied to the intervention group three times a week for 8 weeks; no exercise was applied to the control group. Findings: No difference was seen between the points of pretest fatigue of the intervention and control groups (t = -0.788, p = .434). However, according to the posttest, the intervention group's point of fatigue was lower than the control groups, and this difference was statistically significant (t = -3.924, p = .001). Conclusion: It was found that a walking exercise program applied to patients with COPD affected the fatigue symptom positively. Clinical Relevance: Walking exercises programme can be used by nurses as a reference to monitor chronic obstructive pulmoner disease patients' health status. | en_US |
