INTERPRETATION
CHAPTER – IV
-George Eliot
examine each component of the data provided. This form of analysis is just one of the
many step that must be completed when conducting a research experiment. Data from
various source is gathered ,reviewed, and then analyzed to form some sort of finding
or conclusion. There are a variety of specific data analysis method, some of which
include data mining, text analytics, business intelligence and data visualizations.
This chapter describes analysis and interpretation of data collected to assess the
selected hospitals The collected data was organized, analyzed and tabulated by using

Figure 14: Distribution of subjects based on the pretest and posttest dyspnea in
experimental group.
In experimental group the pre test scores on the level of breathing pattern
moderate were 12(24%) had somewhat severe,13(26%) had moderate very very
severe, 5(10%) had maximum breathing pattern 9(18%) had almost maximum
11(22%). whereas in post test scores on the level of very very slight were 22(44%)
had slight breath 20(40%) had moderate breathing pattern 6(12%)had severe
This finding reveals that in experimental group after the deep breathing
exercise administration among asthma disease were as decreased in post test than
pretest.

The above table shows that the calculated t value’ in the experimental group was 3.02
which was significantly at P<0.05 level. It can be concluded that there is no much difference
in pre test and post test in experimental group.

DISCUSSION
This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of breathing exercises for lung
A convenience sampling technique was used to collect data from the study
participants 50samples were taken, experimental group.pre test and post was
conducted .The Data were collected for a period of six weeks at selected hospitals.
The first objective was to assess the breathing pattern before and after breathing
In experimental group the pre test scores on the level of breathing pattern moderate
were 12(24%) had somewhat severe,13(26%) had moderate very very severe, 5(10%)
had maximum breathing pattern 9(18%) had almost maximum 11(22%). whereas in
post test scores on the level of very very slight were 22(44%) had slight breath
20(40%) had moderate breathing pattern 6(12%)had severe breathing pattern and no

The sample size of the study was 50 clients who have asthma patient in
The investigator collected pre test data using modified dyspnea scale and for
twice a day with daily routine exercise for asthma patients before giving oxygen
therapy. Post test was conducted by the investigator for experimental groups. For
experimental group, test was conducted 1 hour after administration of deep breathing
exercise . The data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics.
