Abstract
Bronchial asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder characterized by recurrent dyspnea and reduced quality of life. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a respiratory care bundle in reducing dyspnea among asthma patients. A quasi-experimental pre-test post-test control group design was adopted with 60 participants (30 experimental, 30 control) in selected hospitals of Bagalkot. The intervention group received deep breathing exercises and incentive spirometry thrice daily for three days, while the control group received routine care. Dyspnea was assessed using the Modified Borg’s Dyspnea Scale. Results showed a significant reduction in dyspnea scores in the experimental group (mean reduced from 7.6 to 6.8, p < 0.05), whereas the control group showed no significant improvement. The study concludes that respiratory care bundles are effective non- pharmacological interventions for improving respiratory outcomes in asthma patients.
