A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Programme on Management of Interstitial Lung Disease ILD in Terms of Quality of Life and Functional Capacity

Introduction Interstitial lung diseases ILDs are a diverse group of lung diseases that are characterized by chronic inflammation and progressive fibrosis of the pulmonary interstitium. The interstitium is defined as the alveolar walls including epithelial cells and capillaries , septae, and the perivascular, perilymphatic, and peribroncheolar connective tissues. 1. management of Interstitial Lung Disease ILD . 3. To assess and evaluate the functional capacity in terms of 6MWD, protein value and Fat Free Mass Index FFMI among newly diagnosed Interstitial Lung Disease ILD patients before and after the administration of planned teaching program on management of Interstitial Lung Disease ILD . 4. To determine relationship between quality of life and functional capacity after administration of planned teaching on management of interstitial lung disease ILD . 5. To seek association between quality of life among newly diagnosed Interstitial Lung Disease ILD patients after administration of planned teaching program on management of Interstitial Lung Disease ILD with selected variables like A. Age B. Sex C. Education D. Medical illness E. Occupation F. Socio economic status 6. To seek association between functional capacity among newly diagnosed Interstitial Lung Disease ILD patients after administration of planned teaching program on management of Interstitial Lung Disease ILD with selected variables like A. Age B. Sex C. Education D. Medical illness E. Occupation' F. Socio economic status Methods The research adopted a quasi experimental design with pre and post test of the intervention of the patients availing the planned teaching management programme of ILD. Exit interviews of ILD patients were conducted to 60 randomly selected patients among those who avail the facility in the hospital. International standardized questionnaire based on the St. George Respiratory Questionnaire SGRQ and Six Minute Walk Distance 6MWD , protein and fat free mass index FFMI by Bio Impedance Non Invasive are the tools used in this study. Further, a structure questionnaire to assess demographic data and a follow up pro forma for weekly telephone call, and planned teaching program on management of ILD were developed. Result The data was analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. The analysis of the newly diagnosed ILD patients showed that 45 was from 40 59 years of age 53 from the experimental group and 37 from the control group . In both experimental and control group majorities 63 of newly diagnosed interstitial lung disease patients were females from both the groups.It has 35 that has below 10 standard levels 40 in control group and 30 in experimental group and 29 had a family income range from 0 10,000 30 from control group and 26 from experimental group . A majority with 70 of newly diagnosed ILD patients belong to nuclear family from both groups. Maximum of occupational exposure to dust respectively.
