Abstract
Chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease that is caused due to an obstruction in a channel the airflow that much happening in Indonesia due to the high-risk factor exposure causes the onset of COPD as the habit of smoking and an unhealthy environment. Blockage in the airway that occurs in patients of COPD is usually characterized by shortness of breath. The various ways that can be done to overcome the shortness of breath are with nebulizer therapy. Nebulizer therapy action is undertaken in accordance with standard operating procedures (SPO) already determined, in the SPO mention the position at the time of the nebulizer therapy position fowler or semi fowler. This study aims to know the effectiveness of the grant the position of Fowler and semi fowler against the scale of the COPD patient shortness of breath while undergoing therapy nebulizer. Methode of this study is a quasy experiment in two groups using pre-test and post-test design. The study was conducted in General Hospital K.R.M. T Wongsonegoro Semarang with the total sample as many as 32 patients. The analysis using Mann Whitney with p-value 0.000 (p < 0.05) so that it can be concluded that there is a difference in the average scale of shortness of breath between fowler and semi fowler while undergoing group therapy nebulizer. The analysis showed that the position of semi fowler is more effective in lowering shortness of breath when compared to the position of fowler while undergoing therapy nebulizer. This study recommended giving the semi-fowler position to reduce dyspnea in COPD patients while undergoing Nebulizervtherapy.
Highlights
Chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease is not infectious to become a public health problem of the age of life expectancy and the increasing risk factor exposure against, such as unhealthy living habits, pollution the air especially in big cities, industrialization and the smoking habits of thought is closely connected with the incident COPD.[1]
In this current era of not just in adults only even in the case of COPD, too many have encountered on the young age groups who are already familiar with the smoke
This study is quasy experiment with the design of two group pre-test and post-test, Chanif / Position of Fowler and Semi-fowler to Reduce of Shortness of Breath (Dyspnea) Level While Undergoing Nebulizer Therapy with intervention position fowler and semi fowler while undergoing therapy for COPD nebulizer in patients who experience shortness of breath
Summary
Chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease is not infectious to become a public health problem of the age of life expectancy and the increasing risk factor exposure against, such as unhealthy living habits, pollution the air especially in big cities, industrialization and the smoking habits of thought is closely connected with the incident COPD.[1]. Smoking habit either active or passive smoker is the cause of most important causal and risk factors in associate as the main onset of COPD.[2]
