Abstract

Introduction: Multi Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) sufferers experience decreased Received: October 15, 2024lung function. Non-pharmacological therapy such as slow deep breathing has been widely Revised: April, 18, 2025applied to improve lung function of individuals with Tuberculosis. However, the results Accepted: April, 19, 2025Available online: April, 25, 2025were inconsistant. The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of slow deep breathing on lung function pf individuals with multi-drug resistant (MDR-TB) at the MDR-TB Polyclinic Ibnu Sina General Hospital Gresik, Indonesia.KEYWORDShealth risks; multi-drug Method: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test. resistant; slow deep breathing; The population consisted of 294. A total of 35 participants were selected using purposive tuberculosissampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection involved a StandardCORRESPONDING AUTHOR Operating Procedure (SOP)-guided intervention in slow deep breathing exercises as the independent variable. Lung function, the dependent variable, was measured using a Widiharti Widiharticalibrated spirometry device before and after the intervention. An accidental sampling widiharti@umg.ac.idmethod was applied, focusing on the availability and willing to participate.Faculty of Health, Universitas Muhammadiyah Gresik, Gresik, East Java, IndonesiaResults: The results showed of 19 (54.3%) and almost half of participants had abnormal lung function, 16 (45.7%) people. After being given intervention, the majority of particupants presented normal lung function, 21 (65.7%) of them and almost half of them had abnormal lung function, 12 (34.3%) of them. Mc Nemar test to determine the effect of slow deep breathing on lung function was p-value of 0.125 > 0.05.Conclusion: This study documented that slow deep breathing exercises had no significant effect on lung function in individuals with MDR-TB. This likely attributable to other contributing factors, such as routine pharmacological treatment, consistent physical activity, and improved adherence to therapy. These confounding variables may have played a more substantial role in the observed changes. Further research with rigorous experimental designs, involved larger sample sizes, and longer duration of intervention is needed.
