Official title

Patient Experiences and the Role of Team Structures in Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Türkiye: The PRETTY Study - A National, Multicenter, Cross-Sectional Observational Study

Overview

The PRETTY Study aims to evaluate patient satisfaction with pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) services across Türkiye and to investigate how satisfaction levels are related to the organizational structures and team compositions of the PR programs.
