A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Breathing Exercise on Bio Physiological Parameters among Patients with Bronchial Asthma at Government Doon Medical College Hospital, Dehradun, Uttarakhand

BACKGROUND Asthma remains a major public health concern in India, with limited access to non pharmacological interventions in resource constrained settings. Breathing exercises have emerged as a promising adjunct therapy, yet evidence remains scattered across diverse populations. PROBLEM STATEMENT “A study to evaluate the effectiveness of breathing exercise on bio physiological parameters among patients with bronchial asthma at Government Doon Medical College Hospital, Dehradun, Uttarakhand.” OBJECTIVES• To assess the pre test or post test level of bio physiological parameters among patients with bronchial asthma. • To evaluate the effectiveness of breathing exercise on bio physiological parameters among patients with bronchial asthma. • To find out the association between the pre test level of bio physiological parameters among patients with bronchial asthma with their selected demographic variables. RESEARCH DESIGN and SETTING This pre experimental study adopted a one group pre test and post test design. It was conducted in respiratory pulmonary ward of Government Doon Medical College Hospital, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. METHODOLOGYA total of 60 participants were recruited using convenience sampling technique. Inclusion criteria required participants to be above 20 years of age, of either gender, and diagnosed with bronchial asthma. Patients were excluded if they were unconscious, unwilling to participate, already practicing breathing exercises, or had significant co morbidities. The intervention focused on guided breathing exercises, with the following bio physiological parameters measured pre and post intervention respiratory rate, pulse rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, peak expiratory flow rate, breath sounds, skin color, and general appearance. Data were collected using a self structured socio demographic profile and an observational checklist. RESULTS Post intervention data analysis revealed statistically significant improvements p 0.05 across multiple respiratory indicators, affirming the positive influence of breathing exercises. CONCLUSION Structured breathing exercises significantly enhance bio physiological outcomes in asthma patients, suggesting their integration into standard clinical practice, especially in resource limited settings.
