Overview
Brief Summary
This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of singing or playing melodica activity applied to chronic obstructive pulmonary patients on symptoms, self-efficacy level, and exercise capacity of patients.
Detailed Description
The research was carried out in the chest diseases polyclinics of a hospital in Trabzon city center between September 2020 and August 2021 with 30 patients: 15 in the control group and 15 in the song/melodica group. Based on Pender's health promotion model, the control group received training and counseling for ten weeks, including face-toface training and telephone follow-up. According to Pender's health promotion model, patients in the song/melodica group were given face-to-face training once, singing/playing the melodica training twice, and counseling and follow-up over the phone twice, with 15- day intervals. The data were collected with a patient information form and scales examining disease symptoms, self-efficacy, and exercise capacity. To evaluate the data, ttest, Mann-Whitney U, ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis test were used for independent groups to evaluate changes over time, and paired two-sample t-test, Wilcoxon test, and ANOVA test were used in repetitive measurements for dependent groups. .

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Modifiye Medical Research Council (mMMC) Dyspnea scale
Time Frame: 10 weeks
Dyspnea scores of the patients were recorded in the pre-test and post-test.The Medical Research Council Scale (mMRC) consists of five items based on various physical activities that cause dyspnea. On this scale, patients are asked to simply select the activity that produces the feeling of dyspnea. Scoring is between 0-4. Minimum, maximum, median and mean values were evaluated for each group and compared between groups.
Secondary Outcomes
- COPD Assessment Test (CAT)(10 weeks)
