The Effect Chest Physiotherapy on Changes Respiration Rate (RR) in Asthma Patients in Patut Patuh Patju Hospital West Nusa Tenggara

Abstract

Background

Asthma is a condition in which reversible airway obstruction is characterized by coughing, dipsnea, in individuals with hyperactive airways. Asthma has affected more than 5% of the world's population, and several indicators have shown that prevalence continues to increase. Broadly speaking, the management of bronchial asthma is divided into 2 namely pharmacological and non-pharmacological. One of the non-pharmacological management for asthma patients is the provision of chest physiotherapy performed by postural drainage, clapping, and vibration. This action is carried out with the aim of increasing the efficiency of the breathing pattern and cleaning the airway.

Method

The type of research used was research True Experimental with design Randomized Pre Post Test Group Control Design. This study compiled two groups, namely the intervention group and control group. Technique Probability sampling with method allocation random sampling is used to get 30 respondents divided into 2 groups.

Results

Independentt test  result shows p value 0.001 which means that there is a significant effect of chest physiotherapy on respiration rate (RR) between the intervention groups and control.

Conclusion

The results of the study after being given an intervention increased the respiration rate (RR) of patients who received chest physiotherapy, so that the therapy was effectively implemented for patients who have asthma, especially those who have asthma.
