Abstract

IntroductionPneumonia is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma that causes symptoms of coughing, fever, and shortness of breath. One of the non-pharmacological measures to reduce shortness of breath is Pursed Lips Breathing. One of the benefits of Pursed Lips Breathing is optimizing oxygen transport to the lungs, regulating the ventilation process, and strengthening the diaphragm muscles. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an effect of Pursed Lips Breathing on reducing the frequency of shortness of breath in pneumonia patients at Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital. The study design used a Quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test one group design. Samples were taken by purposive sampling where researchers selected samples according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of 52 patients. The results of the implementation of Pursed Lips Breathing for 3 consecutive days with a duration of 15 minutes showed that there were significant changes in the frequency of shortness of breath in 52 pneumonia patients. Data analysis using paired t-test with a result of 0.00 < 0.05, then the hypothesis H1 is accepted, it is known that there is a significant effect of Pursed Lips Breathing and using the Wilcoxon test if the distribution value is not normal. The results showed that 52 patients experienced an increase in oxygen saturation, a decrease in the frequency of shortness of breath, and a controlled respiratory rate.
