TI  - [The effects of a respiratory education class on psychological status for 
      patients with chronic respiratory disease].
PG  - 630-4
AB  - AIM: To educate patients with chronic respiratory disease about respiratory 
      diseases and pulmonary rehabilitation, a respiratory education class was held for 
      patients with chronic respiratory diseases and their families. In this study, we 
      evaluated the psychological effects of the class. METHODS: The respiratory 
      education class was held twice during the 2-year period (2002-2004) while the 
      physician specializing in geriatric and respiratory diseases worked at the 
      hospital. Before, during, and one year after the class, we investigated the 
      mental and physical condition in 24 chronic respiratory patients (aged 72.7 +/- 
      1.3 years) using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) to measure anxiety, the 
      Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) to evaluate depressive state, and the General 
      Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) to evaluate self-efficacy. RESULTS: Before, during, 
      and one year after the class, the mean STAI scores were 39.2 +/- 2.5, 40.0 +/- 
      2.5, and 39.4 +/- 2.7, the mean SDS scores were 37.6 +/- 22, 37.0 +/- 2.0, and 
      38.0 +/- 2.0, and the mean GSES scores were 7.4 +/- 0.7, 8.0 +/- 0.8, and 8.6 +/- 
      0.8, respectively. No statistically significant difference was observed for 
      scores on the STAI, SDS between the time points. The score during the class 
      significantly (p < 0.05) increased compared to the score before the class, and 
      remained significantly increased one year after the class on the GSES. 
      CONCLUSION: These results suggest that conducting a respiratory education class 
      might be beneficial for patients with chronic respiratory disease.
