| dc.description.abstract | Airway obstruction is an important physiological disease in asthma clients that will inhibits the
flow of air during inspiration and expiration, so that lung ventilation is not optimal. This situation
makes clients lose base ability to reach normal airflow during breathing, especially when
expiratory, which leads to reduction in peak expiratory flow. Non-pharmacological therapies
can be used as a supplementary or complementary pharmacological therapy, one of which is
progressive muscle relaxation. The objective of this research was to analyze the effect of
progressive muscle relaxation on peak expiratory flow of clients with bronchial asthma.
Respondents in this research were 11 people. Data analysis used dependent t-test with CI
95% (α=0,05). The results of data analysis showed the results of p value = 0,000 (p<0,05).
The conclusion of this research is that there is a significant effect of progressive muscle
relaxation on peak expiratory flow of clients with bronchial asthma. This research is expected
to be applied and administered in health care, especially in the rehabilitation of clients with
asthma to improve respiratory function optimally. | en_US |
