Latin Dance for Post-Lung Transplant Well-Being
This study is exploring whether participating in Latin dance sessions can help improve the well-being of people who have had a lung transplant. The dance sessions include a warm-up, two choreographed dances, and a cool-down, all with music. Researchers want to see if these sessions can reduce anxiety and depression, and lessen the fear of movement (kinesophobia) that some people experience. You may be able to join if you are between 18 and 80 years old, can walk with or without help, have finished outpatient heart and lung rehabilitation, and have good pain control. The study is looking to enroll 52 participants, but its current status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Change in anxietyBaseline, 12 weeks
Measured using the General Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD 7) scale to assess severity of generalized anxiety disorder. Scoring is calculated by assigning scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 to the response categories, respectively, of "not at all," "several days," "more than half the days," and "nearly every day." Total score for the seven items ranges from 0 to 21 where 0 is no anxiety, 1-4 is minimal anxiety, 5-9 is mild anxiety, 10-14 is moderate anxiety, and 15-21 is severe anxiety.
- Change in depressionBaseline, 12 weeks
Measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9) scale to assess severity of depression. Scoring is calculated by assigning scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 to the response categories, respectively, of "not at all," "several days," "more than half the days," and "nearly every day." Total score for the seven items ranges from 0 to 27 where 0 is no depression, 1-4 is minimal depression, 5-9 is mild depression, 10-14 is moderate depression, and 15-19 is moderately severe depression and 20-27 severe depression.
- Change in Tampa Kinesophobia ScaleBaseline, 12 weeks
Measured using the Tampa Scale for Kinesophobia 17-item scale to assess fear of movement. Scoring is calculated by assigning scores of 1, 2, 3, and 4 to the response categories, respectively, of "strongly agree," "disagree," "agree," and "strongly agree." Total score for the seventeen items ranges from 17 to 68. A score of 17 is the lowest possible score, and indicates no kinesiophobia or negligible. A score of 68 is the highest possible score and indicates extreme fear of pain with movement.
