AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RESPIRRATORY CARE BUNDLE AMONG DYSPNEA PATIENTS IN SELECTED HOSPITALS OF GANDHINAGAR, GUJARAT

A study to evaluate the effectiveness of respiratory care bundle among the Dyspnea patients in selected hospitals, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Pre-experimental research approach was used with the group pre-test post-test design. The study was conducted in selected hospital of Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The investigator used random sampling technique for selecting 30 samples. To assess the effectiveness of respiratory care bundle on dyspnoea patients. The ‘general system model’ was used as conceptual framework. A quantitative approach with experimental study design was used to achieve the objective of the study. Data were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The mean of post-test score is (2.8) that is lower than the mean pre-test score is (4.26) with the mean difference of (1.466) that is statistically proved which depicts the effectiveness of the respiratory care bundle on dyspnoea patients. Moreover, the calculated‘t’ (10.377) is greater than the tabulated‘t’ (2.05). The findings of the study reveals that the post-test breathing difficulty score is lower than the pre-test breathing difficulty score.
