“…This could be related to patients' commitment to instructions in order to reduce GERD symptoms to feel better and work effectively. 20 The third hypothesis was accepted for antacid consumption, as the current study revealed that the proportion of patients on antacid consumption 7 days/week was 34% pre-intervention but reduced to 2% and 0% post-intervention by two and four months, respectively. In agreement, it was found that 80% of patients in the intervention group significantly reduced antacid consumption compared with pre-intervention.…”

Aim: Abdominal breathing recently has demonstrated an important role in managing symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), improving quality of life, medication adherence, and sleep quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of abdominal breathing on sleep and quality of life in patients with non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux. Subject and methods: A Quasi-experimental design was used. A purposive sample of 100 patients was selected from the medical outpatient clinics of Menoufia University Hospital and the outpatient clinics of the National Liver Institute in Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. A Structured interview questionnaire was used to collect data on patients’ sociodemographic characteristics, belly breathing exercise performance and self-reported compliance, GERD symptoms severity and frequency, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and GERD Health-Related Quality of Life. Results: The frequency of GERD symptoms decreased from 26.64 pre-intervention to 17.61 and 9.58, respectively, at two- and four-months post-intervention. Antacid consumption among patients taking it 7 days/week was reduced from 34% pre-intervention to 2% and 0% post-intervention by two and four months, respectively. Good sleepers were 24% pre-intervention then increased to 62% and 90% post-intervention by 2 and 4 months, respectively. Regarding GERD related quality of life, only 1% was satisfied pre-intervention, which increased to 32% and 72% post-intervention by 2 and 4 months, respectively. Conclusion: Abdominal breathing offers better therapeutic improvements in all patients’ outcomes such as reduced severity and frequency of GERD symptoms, reduced antacid consumption, increased sleep quality, and increased satisfaction with life quality. Healthcare professionals are encouraged to incorporate abdominal breathing into treatment protocols for patients with non-erosive GERD.

“…Some studies demonstrated a statistically significant positive correlation between GERD patients' knowledge and healthier lifestyle changes after an educational intervention. They also found a significant improvement in patients' quality of life, practice and attitude toward their disease, thus elevating their daily symptoms (Jeong et al, 2017;Ahmed and Khalil, 2021;Haruma et al, 2015). Similarly, recent studies showed improved adherence, quality of life and medication effectiveness (Haruma et al, 2015;Song et al, 2020;Alshaikh et al, 2021).…”

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most common upper gastrointestinal condition. GERD patients report heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, dysphasia, globus sensation and other symptoms and complications that influence their quality of life. We aimed to determine how patient awareness of disease aggravation affects GERD patients' quality of life in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Makkah 1197 participants completed the online questionnaire, 218 of whom had GERD and met the inclusion criteria for age, gender and ethnicity. Psychiatric patients, pregnant women, cardiovascular patients (angina, myocardial infarction) and asthmatics were excluded.Results: There were significant differences in knowledge scores based on occupational status (p<0.001). There was a significant difference among different levels of education with p = 0.00. The most common symptoms included a burning sensation followed by pain, nausea and regurgitation. The most frequently reported complications were gastric pain and dyspnea. Conclusion:Although GERD is a common disorder worldwide, our resultsshowed less knowledge about GERD complications among those diagnosed with the disease. Awareness of complications is important for decreasing incidences and improving quality of life.
