PENGARUH PEMBERIAN KOMBINASI TRIPOD POSITION DAN PURSED LIP BREATHING TERHADAP RESPIRATION RATE PADA PASIEN COPD DI RSUD BANGIL

Abstract

Many people with COPD develop emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Both conditions cause obstruction of air flow in the respiratory system and cause breathing problems, namely an increase in the frequency of external respiration. One of the non-pharmacological management is a combination of tripod position and pursed lip breathing. This study aimed to determine the effect of a combination of tripod position and pursed lip breathing on respiration rate in COPD patients. The design of this study used a one group pretest-post test design. The population in this study was all COPD patients at Bangil Hospital Pasuruan in June 2021 as many as 30 people. The sampling technique of this study was consecutive sampling. The sample size was 25 people. The research instrument used an observation sheet. Data analysis used Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. The results of this study suggested that the average of respiration rate before the combination of tripod position and pursed lip breathing was 28.8x/minute, and the average value of respiration rate before the combination of tripod position and pursed lip breathing was 23.2x/minute. Wilcoxon Signed Rank test results suggested tha pvalue = 0.000, which meant that H1 was accepted. The combination of a tripod position and pursed lip breathing will loosen the chest cavity, providing positive pressure on the lungs so that air can go in and out more smoothly and reduce shortness of breath.
