Brief Summary

Purpose: To examine the effects of breathing exercises on respiratory functions and 6 Minute Walk Test (6 WT) distance in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Method: This is a quasi-experimental study with a single group pretest-posttest design. It was conducted with 30 individuals in the hemodialysis unit of a public hospital between July 2022 and October 2022. Data were also collected before starting the intervention (week 1) and after completing the intervention (week 8). Socio-Demographic Data Survey, 6 Minute Walk Test and Respiratory Function Test were used as data collection tools and data were collected face to face. In the analysis of the data, mean, standard deviation, percentage, t test in dependent groups, and Wilcoxon analysis were used. KeyWords: Individuals receiving hemodialysis treatment, respiratory exercise program, nursing care

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Respiratory Function Test- FVC

  Forced Vital Capacity (FVC): The amount of air that is exhaled forcefully and rapidly after taking as much breath as possible.

  0- 8. weeks

• Respiratory Function Test- FEV1

  1st Second Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1): The amount of air exhaled in the first second of the FVC test.

  0- 8. weeks

• Respiratory Function Test- FEF

  Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF): The average flow rate during the middle half of the FVC test.

  0- 8. weeks

• Respiratory Function Test- PEFR

  Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR): The maximum airflow rate achieved during a forced exhalation.

  0- 8. weeks

EXPERIMENTAL

A practical explanation was given about how to use the flow-oriented Intensive Spirometry Device (ICC) (Triflow) after the 3rd hour of the treatment in the HD unit. Each of the patients was given the same brand and model flow-focused intensive spirometer (Triflow) device for breathing exercise.
