| 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 |
