Abstract

Objective: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a respiratory rehabilitation project in reducing the prevalence rate of nursing diagnoses in a sample of paediatric individuals with respiratory pathology, thus contributing to their well-being in the context of a pandemic.

Method: A descriptive and exploratory study was conducted with 24 paediatric individuals of both genders, aged between 14 months and 17 years, living on the islands of São Miguel and São Jorge (Azores) with respiratory pathology, but in need of Respiratory Rehabilitation. An innovative project was outlined and implemented, combining Home Visitation and Respiratory Telekinesitherapy.

Results: The sample reveals differences regarding the results obtained with the intervention, compared to those recorded prior to its implementation. With the project, there was a diagnostic resolution rate between 77.7% and 100%, resulting into a 76.5% reduction in the incidence rate of hospital admissions. Children and parents’ satisfaction rate with the designed intervention is around 100%.

Conclusion: the designed project improved user’s accessibility to Respiratory Rehabilitation therapies who were deprived of this care. Its implementation contributed to reducing respiratory pathology exacerbations and avoidable hospital admissions, contributing to a greater subjective well-being and to costs reduce with hospital admissions.
