Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) people suffer from severe physical impairments, which often elicit significant physiological distress and impact their quality of life. The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease defined Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease as airflow limitation that tends to not be fully reversible and which is usually both progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: A study to evaluate the efficacy of selected pulmonary rehabilitation programme on health wellbeing among patients with COPD at Vadamalayan Hospital in Madurai. OBJECTIVES: Objectives of the study were: 1. To assess the pre test and post test health wellbeing among patients with COPD in the control and experimental group. 2. To determine the efficacy of selected pulmonary rehabilitation programme on health wellbeing among patients with COPD by comparing the pre test and post test scores within and between the control and experimental group. 3. To associate the health wellbeing of the patients with COPD with their demographic and clinical variables. MATERIALS AND METHOD: In this study, quasi experimental pre-test and post- test control group design was adopted. The researcher has chosen Vadamalayan Hospital from Madurai, Tamil Nadu as the control and experimental group for the study. The sample comprised of 60 patients who were diagnosed with COPD at Vadamalayan Hospital in Madurai, among which 30 patients were assigned in the control group and 30 patients were in the experimental group. The samples were recognized based on the inclusion criteria and selected by non probability convenient sampling technique. The patients were subjected to assess both pre test and post test. RESULTS: The data obtained was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The paired ‘t’ test of the health well-being score within the control group was 0.03 and p = 0.97. in experimental group, the paired ‘t’ test of the health well-being score was 0.52 and p > 0.05. The unpaired ‘t’ test of the health well-being score between control and experimental group was 15.07 and p = 0.001. CONCLUSION: The study results revealed that, there was a statistical significant difference in the health well-being among patients with COPD in the control and experimental group. The study concluded that the selected pulmonary rehabilitation programme (Respiratory muscle exercise, Muscle strengthening and Smoking cessation) was highly effective in improving the health wellbeing among patients with COPD. Hence, it is clearly judged that the health wellbeing has improved to in the experimental group after implementing pulmonary rehabilitation programme among patients with COPD.
