Summary:The objective of the study is to review the studies on home-based pulmonary rehabilitation practices in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients in the last 5 years. Home-based randomized controlled trials in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients published in the PubMed database within the previous 5 years were searched. As a result of the research, a total of 5 articles were included in the study. Five home-based rehabilitation practices used in these articles were reached. Totally, 176 patients were found to have participated in these programs. As a result, patients who have difficulty accessing hospital-based rehabilitation services due to various reasons will benefit from home-based rehabilitation services. However, the content of the home-based program and the method of follow-up and supervision affect the results.
