Abstract ABSTRACT
A Quasi experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of
deep breathing exercise among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients at selected hospital in erode District was done by miss. S.ADHISAYJAYA as a Assistant Professor working on shree venkateshwara college of paramedical and allied health science.in department of Physician Assistant.

The objective of the study were, to assess the breathing pattern before and
after breathing exercise among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients in control and experimental group. To evaluate the effectiveness of deep breathing exercise among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients in experimental group. To find out the association between the breathing pattern with selected demographic variables in the control and experimental group In this study quasi experimental, non randomized control group pre test-post
test design was adopted. The study include 60 samples patients who were selected by purposive sampling technique .the study was conducted in headquarter hospital at erode district demographic data ,modified dyspnea Borg scale and intervention for deep breathing exercise these are method used for data collection procedure. the tool was finalized of five medical and nursing experts and pilot study for the its clarity ambiguity and feasibility on similar subject to analyze the experimental data statistical analysis was used Modified Borg scale was used to evaluate the dyspnea. Experimental group received intervention of deep breathing exercise for 25 minutes twice a day for without treatment With regard to age, 9(30%) in experimental group and 10(33.3%) in control group belongs to the age group of 51 to 60 years and 9(30%) in experimental group and 9(30%) in control group belonged to the age group of above 60 years.
Considering the sex, 17 (56.6%) subjects in the experimental group and 14
(46.6%) in the control group were females and the remaining were males.
In relation to education, 9(30%) of them had high secondary school and
7(23.3%) of them had illiterate in experimental group and 7(23.3%) of them had high school education and 9(30%) of them had higher secondary education in control group.With regard to the occupation, 9(30%) were self workers and 9(30%) were industrial workers in experimental group and 9(30%) were self workers and 8(26.7%) were industrial workers in the control group.
In relation to marital status 22(73.3%)were married and6(20%)unmarried in
experimental group and 15(50%)were married and 6(20%) un married in control
group Regarding the history of previous copd, 18(60%) in experimental group and
24(80%) in control group had no history of previous copd.
Considering the duration of illness,10(33.3%) subjects having 6 years in and
10(33.3%) subject having 2-5years in experimental group and 12(40%)subject having 6 years and 9(30%)subject having in control..
With regard to the treatment of copd, 16(53.3%) subjects in the experimental
group and 16(53.3%) of subjects in the control group.
Findings of the pre test level of breathing pattern in control group on 2
subjects (6.7%) had moderate level of breathing difficulty and 5 subjects(16.7%) had severe level of breathing difficulty . And the post test level of breathing difficulty in control group , 2 subjects (6.7%) had somewhat severe level of breathing difficulty and10subjects (33.3%) had slight level of breath difficulty .
Whereas in experimental group, the pre test level of breathing pattern 11 subjects
(36.7%) had maximum level of breathing difficulty and 2 subjects (6.7%) had
moderate level of breathing difficulty and the post test level of breathing difficulty, 12 subjects (40%) had very very slight level of breath difficulty, and 10(33.3%) had slight breathing difficulty, level of breathing in the experimental group.
The calculated ‘t’ values in the control group were 2.07which are not
significant. It is concluded that there was no significant differences between the pre
and post test level of breathing pattern among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients The calculated ’t’ value in the experimental group were 2.64was statistically significant at p<0.05 level which clearly shows that there was a significant reduce in the level of breathing pattern among patients among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease after giving breathing exercise .Hence H1 is accepted. The obtained ‘t’ values for level of pain between the control and experimental group is 4.51which were highly significant at p<0.05 level. These findings revealed that the subjects in experimental group had decreased level of breathing pattern after giving breathing exercise compared to control group. Hence research hypothesis H2 is accepted.
