The validity and reliability of the Breathing Vigilance Questionnaire (Breathe-VQ)

ABSTRACT

S13 Figure 1ConclusionThe Breathe-VQ is a valid and reliable tool to measure vigilance of breathing. Our data suggest that breathing vigilance may be a contributing factor in DB, and could represent a therapeutic target. Further research is now warranted using the Breathe-VQ in clinical populations of individuals with DB, chronic respiratory disease and COVID-19. Further research could assess the effects of breathing re-training, pulmonary rehabilitation and arts-in-health interventions on vigilance of breathing.
