Effectiveness of Breathing Exercises as Therapeutic Play on Respiratory Status Among Children With Lower Respiratory Tract Disorders

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The study evaluates the effectiveness of Breathing Exercises as Therapeutic Play on respiratory Status among children with Lower respiratory Tract Disorders. patient were allocated into two groups- Experimental group and Comparison group. Experimental Group received Breathing Exercises as Therapeutic Play after administration of Nebulization therapy and comparison Group received no Breathing Exercises.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The subjects were selected by Purposive sampling technique and allocated into 2 groups i.e experimental and comparison group. the total sample size for the study was 60 children i.e 30 in Experiment Group and 30 in Comparison group. Experimental Group- Pre-assessment of respiratory status among children was assessed. Then after 5 minutes of administration of Nebulization, breathing exercises as therapeutic play (balloon inflation, candle blowing, blow air into water with a straw was administered for 15 minutes once in a day for 3 days consecutively and then post-assessment was taken daily 5 minutes after the administration of breathing exercises as therapeutic play. Comparison Group- Pre-assessment of respiratory status among children was assessed. Then only nebulization therapy was administered and then post-assessment was taken daily after 25 minutes of administered.
