Breathibg Exercises and Inhaler Trainingfor Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients

This training was given to both intervention groups. How the patients used their inhaler medication was evaluated. The steps to use the correct inhaler medication were taught sequentially. It was applied with the patient. At the end of the training, brochures prepared by the researchers were given to the patients.

"This training was given only to the group that received breathing exercise and inhaler training.~Pursed lips breathing exercises were taught to the patients. Patients were asked to continue their breathing exercise for 10 minutes before using their inhaler medication.~Thus, it was evaluated whether breathing exercises performed before using inhaler drugs provided benefit on drug effectiveness."
