Abstract
Respiratory system is responsible for a great percentage of paediatric mortality and morbidity rates in India. The respiratory disorders are more common during winter season. The infection of respiratory system are having great transferring rate from one child to another child. No one really knows why more and more children are developing asthma. Some experts suggest that children are being exposed to more and more allergens such as dust, air pollution and second hand smoke. These factors all are the triggers of asthma. Initial management of the child with acute exacerbation of asthma is aimed at restoring a clear airway, maintaining effective breathing pattern as well as promoting adequate oxygenation and ventilation. Breathing exercises will help to clear the airway. Regular practicing of exercises will helps to strengthen the child’s lungs and control the secretions and improve their breathing. Various breathing exercises are there which helps to reduce the severity and exacerbation. One of the effective Breathing exercise method is strelnikova breathing exercise. Hence doing strelnikova breathing exercise can reduce the frequency of attacks and symptoms among children with bronchial asthma and help them to cope with the respiratory problem and enhance their activities of daily living. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: “A QUASI EXPERIMENTAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STRELNIKOVA BREATHING EXERCISE ON RESPIRATORY OUTCOME AMONG CHILDREN WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA AT SELECTED HOSPITALS, IN PUDUKKOTTAI. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the pre-test and post test level of respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma in the experimental group and control group. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of strelnikova breathing exercise on respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma in experimental group. 3. To find out the association between the post-test level of respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma with the selected demographic variables in experimental group. Conceptual framework: Modified Ernestine Wiedenbach’s helping art theory Research design : Quasi experimental, Non Randomised control group design. Population : children with bronchial asthma Sample : children with bronchial asthma in the age group of 5-12 years. sample size : 60 children with bronchial asthma, 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group Sampling Technique : Non Probability – Purposive Sampling Technique. Setting : Senthil Hospital and Vaitheeswara Hospital Pudukkottai. Tool : Assessment of Demographic variables and assessment of severity and exacerbation using Beckers score, assessment of airway obstruction using peak flow meter. Data collection : The period of data collection was 6 weeks. Pre test assessment of respiratory outcome was done for both the experimental and control group. Strelnikova breathing exercise was administered to the experimental group children with bronchial asthma for 5days.the post level of respiratory outcome was assessed which includes assessment of level of severity and exacerbation using Becker’s scale and assessment of airway obstruction using peak flow meter. Data analysis : Descriptive Statistics (Frequency, Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation), and Inferential statistics (paired, “t” test, Unpaired “t” test, and chi – square) were used. MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY 1. Experimental group of children with bronchial asthma had experienced mild and moderate level of respiratory outcome when compared with control group. 2. There was a significant improvement in the level of respiratory outcome in the experimental group. Hence administration of strelnikova breathing exercise was found to be more effective in improving the level of respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma. 3. There was a significant association between the level of respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma with the selected demographic variables in experimental group. CONCLUSION: 1. Strelnikova breathing exercise has improved the level of respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma. 2. Strelnikova breathing exercise was found to be easy to be learnt & practiced by the children with bronchial asthma.
