Effectiveness of interventional package on pulmonary functional parameters among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in selected hospital at gandhinagar

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is very common in general population. It is a slowly progressing disease involving the airways or pulmonary parenchyma resulting in airflow obstruction. The main objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of interventional package on pulmonary functional parameters among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in experimental group. Materials and Methods: The research design adopted was quasi experimental with two group pre test post test design. Purposive sampling technique was followed to obtain a sample of 30 COPD patients (15 COPD patients in experimental groups and 15 COPD patients in control groups) Pre test and post test assessment was done by using pulmonary functional parameters. Results: The post -test results depicted that 26.66% of the samples from the experimental group was having mild dyspnea, 53.33% moderate and 20% severe whereas 13.33% of the samples from the control group were having mild dyspnea, 40% moderate and 46.66% severe dyspnea. Conclusion: The findings of the present study concluded that the there was significant improvement in the lung functions and breath holding time and also reduction the severity of dyspnea in the experimental group.
