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.
