Feasibility, effectiveness and safety of self-management in pulmonary rehabilitation 149 Data collection and follow-up Each patient and physiotherapist will provide data through questionnaires at baseline, 3 months, 6, 9 and 12 months after inclusion (T0-T4) (Table 1). A subgroup of physiotherapists and patients will be invited to take part in a semistructured interview in order to provide their perspectives on self-management and the PATCH tool. All questionnaires for both patients and physiotherapists will be prepared in Qualtrics (online survey software) (23). The questionnaires will be sent by the researcher from Qualtrics to the participants at the different measurement moments. Answers to the questionnaires will automatically be collected in Qualtrics. If a questionnaire is not completed after two weeks, an automatic reminder will be sent. The researcher enters the responses of patients who complete a paper questionnaire into Qualtrics to obtain a complete data file of all participants. Prior to data analysis, the raw data file will be checked by the researcher for any input errors. If input errors are found, the researcher will contact the respective participant (patient and/or physiotherapist), if possible. In this way, the raw data file is made technically correct and consistent. Data will be anonymized by deleting the e-mail addresses and adding a PID number. Based on the PID number measurements of all measurement moments can be merged.
