Introduction:

To describe the changes in the Lung Information Needs Questionnaire (LINQ) score after an educational intervention in patients with chronic respiratory disease in an outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program from Cali, Colombia, between November 2011 and April 2012.

Materials and methods:

Quasi-experimental study. The LINQ questionnaire was used to assess the need for education and to design the educational component that consisted of individual and group educational sessions twice a week. At the end of the RP program the change generated in the domains of the LINQ was determined.

Results:

Of 61 participants, 21 completed the 2 phases of the study; 51.7 % were female, mean age was 55 (SD 15), 38.1 % were single and 47.6 % were primary school. The LINQ score pre-rehabilitation was 9.4 (SD 3.5) and post-rehabilitation 5.8 (SD 2.5), with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in all domains, except for medicament.

Conclusion:

100 % of the patients needed some degree of educational information at the beginning of the PR. The educational program for this population resulted in improvement of the LINQ score at the end of the rehabilitation.
