Brief Summary:
Diagnosing and managing dyspnea in patients with COPD is very important Although pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used in the management of dyspnea it is recommended that pharmacological methods be supported by non-pharmacological methods Hand fan application which is one of the non-pharmacological methods used in dyspnea management provides an increase in self-efficacy in patients in addition to the stimulation of cold air flow to the trigeminal nerve branches mucosa and skin Although there are studies reporting that applying cold air to the face with a hand fan is effective in reducing the severity of dyspnea in different patient groups the number of studies examining the effectiveness of applying cold air to the face with a hand fan in patients with COPD is quite limited This project was planned to determine the effect of applying cold air to the face with a fan on the severity of dyspnea and quality of life in COPD patients
Detailed Description:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD is a chronic disease with a high incidence both in our country and around the world Dyspnea is one of the common problems in COPD patients Dyspnea is an important symptom that limits patients physical mobility causes psychological problems such as anxiety depression and panic and negatively affects their quality of life Therefore it is very important to diagnose and manage dyspnea in patients with COPD Although pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used in the management of dyspnea it is recommended that pharmacological methods be supported by non-pharmacological methods Hand fan application which is one of the non-pharmacological methods used in dyspnea management provides an increase in self-efficacy in patients in addition to the stimulation of cold airflow to the trigeminal nerve branches mucosa and skin Although there are studies reporting that applying cold air to the face with a hand fan is effective in reducing the severity of dyspnea in different patient groups the number of studies examining the effectiveness of applying cold air to the face with a hand fan in patients with COPD is quite limited This project was planned to determine the effect of applying cold air to the face with a fan on the severity of dyspnea and quality of life in COPD patients
Method The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental design The population of the research consists of patients treated with a diagnosis of COPD in Bartın State Hospital Chest Diseases Service Considering the data obtained from a similar study the sample was calculated as 64 patients in the intervention group and 64 patients in the control group for a total of 128 patients Data will be collected using the Descriptive Information Form Vital Signs Form Modified Borg Scale and Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire
Data will be collected by researchers through face-to-face interviews with COPD patients treated at Bartın State Hospital Chest Diseases Service Patients receiving treatment with a diagnosis of COPD will be randomized into intervention and control groups In the control group the Patient Diagnosis Form Vital Signs Form Modified Borg Scale and Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire Form will be filled in at the first interview The clinics routine care protocol will be applied to the patients in the control group and the researchers will fill out a vital signs form every day for 7 days and the patients will be followed up At the first meeting of the intervention group the Patient Identification Form Vital Signs Form Modified Borg Scale and Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire Form will be filled out Afterward training will be given accompanied by an academic advisor on how to apply cold air to the face with a hand fan 3 times a day for 5 minutes for dyspnea management Additionally patients will be given a hand-fan application brochure The researchers will monitor the patient every day for a week 7 days fill out the vital signs form and the final test will be administered by the researchers on the 8th day
