A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Hands-On Training Programme on Knowledge and Practice regarding Use of Incentive Spirometry in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery in Selected Hospital at Kanpur
Neha Sharma, Nisha Yadav
Abstract: Background: Following surgery patients are at risk of developing respiratory complications such as atelectasis, pneumonia and respiratory muscle weakness. Incentive spirometry serves as a proactive measure to counteract these risks by promoting lung expansion, enhancing secretion clearance and maintaining respiratory muscle strength. Incentive spirometry is a widely used routine clinically procedure for prophylactic and treatment regimen as a perioperative respiratory therapy. Objective: The objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of hands - on training programme on knowledge and practice regarding use of incentive spirometry in patients undergoing cardiac surgery in selected hospital at Kanpur. Materials and methods: Quasi - experimental non - randomized control group design is adopted for this study. The study was conducted at LPS Institute of Cardiology, Kanpur. The sample size was 70. These 70 patients were divided into experimental and control group (35 samples in each group). Non - probability purposive sampling technique was used. Results: The result showed that hands - on - training programme was highly effective for patients undergoing cardiac surgery according to the level of knowledge and practice before and after intervention. For level of knowledge in experimental group, the calculated ?t? value (- 22.774) was statistically highly significant at 0.05 level of significance. For level of practice in experimental group, the calculated ?t? value (63.185) was statistically highly significant at 0.05 level of significance. Conclusion: Incentive spirometry serves as an educational tool, empowering patients to take an active role in their preoperative preparation and postoperative recovery. By teaching proper breathing techniques and encouraging regular practice, it enhances patient compliance and engagement with pre - rehabilitation programs leading to better outcomes.
