ABSTRACT
Background: Bronchial asthma is a common respiratory illness. The word asthma has a long history derived from sanskrit “vayu” meaning “wind”. It is characterized by chronic inflammation, bronchoconstriction and bronchial hyper responsiveness. It is manifested by paroxysmal smooth muscle spasm in the non- conducting small airways. It is one of the most common chronic disorders. It affects 11.8% of children between 3 and 17 years of age. It is caused by multiple factors. It can be triggered by variety of stimuli such as cold air, smoke fumes, viral infections, stress, exercise, odors, medications or allergens. Allergic asthma may occur due to specific allergens like pollen, house dust, smoke, powder, perfumes, etc. asthma is a major noncommunicable disease (NCD), affecting both children and adults, and is the most common chronic disease among children. Inflammation and narrowing of the small airways in the lungs cause asthma symptoms, which can be any combination of cough, wheeze, shortness of breath and chest tightness. asthma affected an estimated 262 million people in 2019 (1) and caused 455 000 deaths.Breathing exercises that will reduce one’s body-oxygen levels and worsen health and symptoms due to hyperventilation and alveolar hypocapnia (low levels of CO2). This study aims to investigate and compare the effects of conventional breathing exercises and an inspiratory muscle training intervention on clinical symptoms in asthma patients. Breathing exercises will help to clear the airway. Regular practicing of exercises will helps to strengthen the child’s lungs and control the secretions and improve their breathing pattern. Various breathing exercises are there which helps to reduce the severity and exacerbation. One of the effective Breathing exercise method is strelnikova breathing exercise. Hence doingstrelnikova breathing exercise can reduce the frequency of attacks and symptoms among children with bronchial asthma and help them to cope with the respiratory problem and enhance their activities of daily living.
Objectives
1. To assess the pre-test and post test level of respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma in the experimental group and control group.
2. To evaluate the effectiveness of strelnikova breathing exercise on respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma in experimental group and control group.
3. To compare the effectiveness of strelnikova breathing exercise on respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma in experimental and control group.
4. To find out the association between the post test level of respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma with the selected demographic variables in experimental group and control group
Methodology:
Quasi experimental, non randomized control group design was used for this study. Best Children's Hospital and Sudha Mother and Child Care Hospital, Erode. Total sample size was 60.The samples were selected by using purposive sampling technique.
Results
The demographic variables are age of the child (in years), sex, Educational status of mother, Socio economic class, Pet animals in home, Type of allergy, Type of treatment taken for asthma, Frequency of asthmatic episodes in last year, Breathlessness while climbing stairs and Duration of illness of the child had shown statistically significant association between the post-test level of severity and exacerbation (respiratory outcome) among children with bronchial asthma with the selected demographic variables in experimental group.The demographic variables are type of allergy, Frequency of asthmatic episodes in last year and Duration of illness of the child had shown statistically significant association between the post-test level of oxygen saturation among children with bronchial asthma with the selected demographic variables in experimental group.
Conclusion
The present study assessed the effectiveness of strelinikova breathing exercises on selected respiratory outcomes among children with Bronchial asthma at selected hospital Erode. Based on statistical findings, it is evident that strelinikova breathing exercises given among children with bronchial asthma significantly reduced the level of respiratory signs. Therefore the investigator felt that, Strelnikova breathing exercises for children with Bronchial asthma will reduce the respiratory sign and improve the respiratory parameters.
INTRODUCTION
Asthma (a Greek word meaning “panting”) is a chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by airway obstruction (which is reversible either spontaneously or with medication),airway inflammation, and an increased responsiveness of trachea and bronchi to various stimuli. It manifests by bouts of dyspnea resulting from temporary narrowing of bronchi due to bronchospasm, mucosal edema, and thick secretions. (Rimple Sharma, 2022)

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Evaluate the effectiveness of strelnikova breathing exercise on respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma at selected hospitals, Erode.
Objectives
1. To assess the pre-test and post test level of respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma in the experimental group and control group.
2. To evaluate the effectiveness of strelnikova breathing exercise on respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma in experimental group and control group.
3. To compare the effectiveness of strelnikova breathing exercise on respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma in experimental and control group.
4. To find out the association between the post test level of respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma with the selected demographic variables in experimental group and control group
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A quantitative evaluative approach was adopted by the researcher to evaluate the effectiveness of strelnikova breathing exercise on respiratory outcome among children with bronchial asthma.Quasi experimental, non randomized control group design was used for this study. The study was conducted in Best Children's hospital and Sudha mother and child care hospital Erode.The reason for selecting this hospital was the availability of samples, feasibility for the study and expectation of cooperation from the clients for collection of data.The population selected for this study was the children with bronchial asthma between the age group of 6- 12 years.The sample for this study is children with bronchial asthma within the age group of (6-12years) who were admitted as in-patient at selected hospitals in Erode.The sample for this study consists of 60 children with bronchial asthma. In that 30 samples were assigned to experimental group and 30 samples were control group.Non probability purposive sampling technique was adopted for this study.The samples were selected by using purposive sampling technique.
