BACKGROUND: Exercise tolerance is one of the main impacts of COPD. COPD patients often experience dyspnea and fatigue after doing daily activities using their limb parts, even in simple thing such as lifting or grooming. Nowadays, many pulmonologists concerned in pulmonary rehabilitation to modify some limb training with breathing manoeuvre to get positive impact in stable COPD patient. AIM: The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of this modified upper limb training in lung function, functional capacity, dyspnea scale, and quality of life in patients with stable COPD. METHOD: This was a quasi-experimental study held in 2017 on 22 stable COPD patients (based on GOLD 2018 criteria). Patients were given modified upper limb training with breathing manoeuvre that leads and monitored by a physiotherapist and physician in 10-20 minutes twice a week for 8 weeks. Before and after completed all sessions of training, we measured pulmonary functions test include FEV1 and FVC, functional capacity by 6 MWT, dyspnea scale by mMRC, and quality of life by CAT assessment. Statistical analysis was performed by Wilcoxon and paired t-test. RESULTS: There was an improvement of lung function, both FEV1 (40.7 ± 13.8 to 47.3 ± 14.2; p-value 0.001) and FVC (50.7 ± 14.1 to 54.1 ± 14.7; p-value: 0.207) after training. There was a significant change of functional capacity in 6 MWT mean (277.3 ± 80.8 to 319.1 ± 78.3; p-value: 0.001). There was an improved quality of life after training, measured by decreasing in CAT score (23.9 ± 5.5 to 18.3 ± 5.2; p-value: 0.000). There was no significant change in the mMRC scale (p-value: 0.429) CONCLUSION: There was an improvement of lung function, functional capacity, and quality of life in stable COPD after upper limb training with breathing manoeuvre in stable COPD patients.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk untuk meningkatkan keterlibatan mahasiswa secara aktif dalam proses pembelajaran dan meeningkatan kompetensi mahasiswa terhadap kemampuan dan pemahaman materi serta mampu mengaitkannya dengan masalah yang timbul di lingkungan sekitar. Metode dalam Penelitian ini adalah suatu quasy eksperiment dengan Desain yang digunakan adalah two grups pre and post-test design. Penelitian dilakuakan dengan menggunakan instrument penelitian berupa kuestioner untuk mengetahui nilai mahasiswa fisioterapi terhadap pengembangan modul mata kuliah fisiologi manusia dengan metode pembelajaran problem based learning (PBL) di STIKes Siti Hajar, sampel dibagi dua kelompok yaitu kelompok yang diberikan modul dan kelompok yang tidak diberikan modul. Pemahaman materi dengan menggunakan metode PBL membantu mahasiswa dalam proses pembelajaran, peranan modul bagi mahasiswa dalam proses pembelajaran PBL hasilnya memperlihatkan adanya hubungan signifikan antara peranan modul dalam penilaian mata kuliah fisologi mansia dengan metode pembelajaran PBL (Pvalue =0,000).
AIM: The aim of this study is to determine the impact of short-term combination of upper and lower limb training on lung functions, functional capacity, and quality of life in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: This quasi-experimental study held in 2017 and included 20 participants diagnosed with COPD (forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced volume capacity [FEV1/FVC] ≤70%). Combination of limb training with pursed-lip breathing held twice a week for 8 weeks. Lung functions, functional capacity, dyspnea scale, and quality of life were measured before, 1 month, and 2 months after training. RESULTS: In this study, there was a significant improvement of FVC after 2 months after training (p-value: 0.04), but not in FEV1. There was a significant improvement of CAT (p-value: 0.00) and modified medical research council (p-value: 0.04) after 1 month of training. There was a significant improvement of 6-min walking test mean after 2 months of training (p-value: 0.00). CONCLUSIONS: Short-term combination of limb training and pursed-lip breathing impacted positively on FVC, functional capacity, dyspnea scale, and quality of life in patients with COPD, but not in FEV1.
Desa Bukit Peninjauan I merupakan salah satu desa yang terletak di wilayah Kecamatan Sukaraja Kabupaten Seluma Provinsi Bengkulu dengan pertumbuhan perekonomian yang sedang. Profesi masyarakat rata rata sebagai petani, buruh tani dan buruh bangunan, sehingga tingkat kesejahteraan masyarakat relatif sedang. Ini mengakibatkan banyak anak-anak yang putus sekolah, umumnya hanya mampu menempuh pendidikan sampai jenjang SMP yang disebab kurangnya kesadaran masyarakat untuk menempuh pendidikan yang lebih tinggi. Telah dilaksanakan kegiatan Program Kemitraan Masyarakat dalam upaya pemberdayaan pemuda rentan/anak-anak putus sekolah guna mengurangi jumlah penganguran yang tidak memiliki ketrampilan yang bertujuan terbentuknya kelompok pemuda rentan yang memiliki ketrampilan dalam bidang multimedia. Serta meningkatnya pengetahuan dan ketrampilan anggota kelompok pemuda rentan tentang pemanfaatan komputer. Hasil yang telah dicapai dalam kegiatan Program Kemitraan ini adalah telah terbentuknya usaha kecil di bidang jasa percetakan dan photografi yang dikelola oleh kelompok pemuda rentan/anak putus sekolah yang dikoordinir karang taruna di Desa Bukit Peninjauan I dengan nama usaha "Barrokah Mandiri dan Barrokah Berdikari". Kegiatan kemitraan ini dilakukan dengan melalui pemberian pelatihan secara teknis ketrampilan komputer, magang/pendampingan, manajemen usaha dan memberikan bantuan alat penunjang
