Abstract

Background: The GOLD 2020 report highlights the prominent role of physiotherapy – rehabilitation including breathing therapy in managing the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Objectives: To evaluate the reality of breathing practice in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Materials and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study. Evaluation based on a checklist of breathing exercises on 100 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients being treated at Tây Nguyên Regional General Hospital and District 11 Hospital. Results: The percentage of age group ≥ 60 accounted for the majority (76%) and up to 74% of patients were male. There were 6 patients who did not participate in active diaphragmatic breathing therapy. 100% of patients participate in pursed-lip breathing therapy. The percentage of patients who followed step 2 correctly in the group of mouth breathing exercises accounted for the highest rate (99%). The percentage of patients who followed steps 1 and 2 correctly in diaphragmatic breathing therapy accounted for the highest rate (80% and 84%). Conclusion: Breathing exercise therapy is one of the respiratory therapies to support respiratory patients, especially patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, the reality of practicing breathing exercises on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients is still low.
