Abstract
To assess the effect of using face mask and deep breathing exercise among cotton mill workers to check whether there is any improvement in respiratory functions. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: To assess and compare the level of peak expiratory flow rate among cotton mill workers before and after intervention. To assess and compare the presence of self reported respiratory problems among cotton mill workers before and after intervention. To associate the peak expiratory flow rate of cotton mill workers with demographic variables (smoking status, experience, etc.) To assess and correlate the level of wearing face mask with respiratory problem. RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS: There is a significant difference in mean peak expiratory flow rate among cotton mill workers before and after intervention. There is a significant difference in presence of self reported respiratory problem among cotton mill workers before and after intervention. There is a significant difference in correlation of use of face mask and the respiratory problems. LIMITATION: The study is limited to 50 samples from cotton mills. Study is based on verbal report of the workers. Scope of the study: This study is to assess the effectiveness of using face mask and deep breathing exercise in which helps to improve peak expiratory flow rate and to reduce respiratory problems from moderate to mild. It is very important to practice the deep breathing exercise by the cotton mill workers. If the exercise has positive effect it can be practiced by all workers.
