Effectiveness of Breathing Exercises as Therapeutic Play on Respiratory Status Among Children With Lower Respiratory Tract Disorders

"A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Breathing Exercises as Therapeutic Play on Respiratory Status Among Children Undergoing Nebulization Therapy With Lower Respiratory Tract Disorders in Selected Hospitals of Haryana."

The study evaluates the effectiveness of Breathing Exercises as Therapeutic Play on respiratory Status among children with Lower respiratory Tract Disorders. patient were allocated into two groups- Experimental group and Comparison group. Experimental Group received Breathing Exercises as Therapeutic Play after administration of Nebulization therapy and comparison Group received no Breathing Exercises.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Respiratory Status
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Breathing Exercises as Therapeutic Play

Detailed Description

The subjects were selected by Purposive sampling technique and allocated into 2 groups i.e experimental and comparison group. the total sample size for the study was 60 children i.e 30 in Experiment Group and 30 in Comparison group.

Experimental Group- Pre-assessment of respiratory status among children was assessed. Then after 5 minutes of administration of Nebulization, breathing exercises as therapeutic play (balloon inflation, candle blowing, blow air into water with a straw was administered for 15 minutes once in a day for 3 days consecutively and then post-assessment was taken daily 5 minutes after the administration of breathing exercises as therapeutic play.

Comparison Group- Pre-assessment of respiratory status among children was assessed. Then only nebulization therapy was administered and then post-assessment was taken daily after 25 minutes of administered.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Experimental Group; Experimental Group consist of 30 subjects. Pre-assessment of respiratory status among children was assessed. Then after 5 minutes of administration of Nebulization, breathing exercises as therapeutic play (balloon inflation, candle blowing, blow air into water with a straw was administered for 15 minutes once in a day for 3 days consecutively and then post-assessment was taken daily 5 minutes after the administration of breathing exercises as therapeutic play.	Other: Breathing Exercises as Therapeutic Play; On day 1, pre- intervention assessment of respiratory status was done before administration of breathing exercises as therapeutic play and after 5 minutes of administration of Nebulization therapy, breathing exercises was administered among children for 15 minutes once in a day and then after 5 minutes 1st post-intervention assessment was done on same day. On 2nd day again after 5 minutes of administration of Nebulization therapy, breathing exercises was administered among children for 15 minutes once in a day and after 5 minutes again post-intervention assessment was done on same day. On 3rd day again after 5 minutes of administration of Nebulization therapy, breathing exercises was administered among children for 15 minutes once in a day and after 5 minutes again post-intervention assessment was done on same day.
NO_INTERVENTION: Comparison Group; Comparison Group consist of 30 subjects. Pre-assessment of respiratory status among children was assessed. Then only nebulization therapy was administered and then post-assessment was taken daily after 25 minutes of administered.
