The Effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation with Pursed Lips Breathing Towards Fatigue, Depression and Lung Function of Copd Patients in Provincial Hospital of Jayapura

Background COPD is one of the chronic diseases that can cause fatigue, depression and respiratory system disorders. Efforts to overcome anxiety and depression in similar chronic diseases to reduce fatigue one of them is by using the Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) method. Another effort to increase oxygen supply to the alveoli is through breathing exercises that one of them with Pursed Lips Breathing (PLB). Objective To analyze the progressive muscle relaxation relationship with purshed lips breathing against Depression Score, Fatigue Score and respiratory function in COPD patient. Research Design Quantitative research, with experimental design through the pretest-posttest randomized control group design approach. In the experimental study, random assignments were allocated to the groups in which the researchers conducted a comparison between the intervention group and the control group. Sampling technique by way of sampling Consercutive. Data collection using FACIT-T, the BDI II, and will be analyzed using GLM-RM. Results There is influence of progressive muscle relaxation with pursed lips breathing to decrease fatigue score and depression score with P value 0.000 while for respiratory function there is no influence with p value 0.191. Suggestion PMR with PLB can be used one of the U. S. intervention in care in preventing fatigue and depression taught in COPD patient in pulmonary poly room u. s. preventive action and become one of intervention in discharge planning in patient going home in inpatient room.
