Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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. This national, multicenter, cross-sectional observational study will also identify structural and organizational factors that may enhance patient-centered care and promote the standardization of PR services.
