abstract
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is very common in general population. It is a slowly progressing disease involving the airways or pulmonary parenchyma resulting in airflow obstruction. The most common factor leading to COPD is cigarette smoking, exposure to occupational dust and chemicals. The symptom of COPD ranges from dyspnoea, chronic cough with or without sputum production. Interventional package containing education and deep breathing exercises improved the health status and increased the exercise tolerance of patients with COPD. The main objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of interventional package on pulmonary functional parameters among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in experimental group. The research design adopted was quasi experimental with two group pretest posttest design. Purposive sampling technique was followed to obtain a sample of 100 COPD patients (50 COPD patients in experimental groups and 50 COPD patients in control groups) Pretest and posttest assessment was done by using pulmonary functional parameters.
