Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of the respiration strengthening exercise program for inpatients underwent lung surgery.
Method:A quasi-experimental design was used. The subjects of this study were 31 inpatients (Exp. group; 15, Cont. group; 17) at the Korea Cancer Center Hospital. The subjects of experimental group participated in the respiration strengthening exercise program for 7 days. The program consisted of education on deep breathing (pursed-lip breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, deep breathing with Incentive spirometry), coughing, chest physiotherapy (vibration, percussion) and respiratory muscle enhancement exercise(chest mobilization exercise, leg exercise). The outcomes have been evaluated based on pulmonary function (Peak Expiratory Flow Rate, duration of chest tube insertion, pulmonary complication), anxiety and sleep. The obtained data were analyzed by using Repeated Measure ANOVA. Mann-Whitney U test, ANCOVA of SPSS.
Results: The degree of pulmonary function, anxiety of experimental group were improved more than the control group, but it was not statistically significant. The sleep condition of experimental group were significantly improved more than the control group.
