Effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercise on intensity of dyspnoea and oxygen saturation among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.

Abstract Diaphragmatic breathing helps to strengthen the diaphragm and the abdominal muscles and thus allowing more air to move in and out of the lungs without tiring the chest muscles. This study was conducted to assess the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercise on intensity of dyspnoea and oxygen saturation among Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. The objectives of the study were to assess the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercise on intensity of dyspnoea and oxygen saturation among COPD patients and to find out the association between the intensity of dyspnoea and oxygen saturation among COPD patients and selected demographic variables. The research design used was quasi experimental pre test post test control group design. 60 samples were selected by non- probability purposive sampling technique. Intensity of dyspnoea and oxygen saturation were assessed by using Modified Borg scale and pulse oxymeter respectively. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the study show that Mann-Whitney U test was done to compare the pre test and post test score of dyspnoea and oxygen saturation based on experimental and control group. The pre test score of dyspnoea is 3.07 and post test score is 3.7, which is significant at 0.01 level of significance. The pre test score of oxygen saturation is 0.77 and post test score is 1.84, which shows that there is a change in oxygen saturation but not at the level of significance. Thus it can be concluded that diaphragmatic breathing exercise was effective in improving the intensity of dyspnoea and oxygen saturation among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.
