The Effects of Pulmonary Rehabilitation Applied to Intensive Care Unit Patients on Dyspnea, Quality of Life, Depression, Anxiety, and Daily Living Activities
It was found that PR applied both during the intensive care unit stay and at home by using the telerehabilitation method decreased anxiety, depression, and dyspnea in patients with COVID-19 and affected the quality of life and daily living activities positively. Continuing PR, which was applied to acute respiratory patients in the hospital and with telerehabilitation at home, can ensure the integrity of care and treatment.
