Abstract

Introduction: Multi Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) sufferers experience decreased lung function. Non-pharmacological therapy such as slow deep breathing has been widely applied to improve lung function of individuals with Tuberculosis. However, the results were 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. Method: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test. The population consisted of 294. A total of 35 participants were selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection involved a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)-guided intervention in slow deep breathing exercises as the independent variable. Lung function, the dependent variable, was measured using a calibrated spirometry device before and after the intervention. An accidental sampling method was applied, focusing on the availability and willing to participate. Results: 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.

Abstract

Introduction: School-aged children are in the developmental stage of concrete operational thinking, where they begin to think logically and solve problems in a structured way. However, many children at this stage still experience difficulties in subjects which often requires high levels of concentration and problem-solving skills. This study aims to determine the effect of classical music therapy on learning concentration in school-aged children. Method: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. Population consisted of 42 school-aged children, a sample of 38 was obtained using a non-probability sampling. Classical music therapy was used as the independent variable, while learning concentration served as the dependent variable. Learning concentration was measured before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to determine the effect intervention. Results: The results of the Wilcoxon statistical test yielded a ρ value of 0.00, which is smaller than the predetermined significance level (α = 0.05). This finding indicates that classical music therapy has a statistically significant effect on improving learning concentration in school-aged children. The outcome supports the notion that classical music stimulates cognitive, focus, and learning atmosphere. Conclusion: This study concludes that classical music therapy has a significant positive influence on learning concentration. The intervention was shown to enhance students’ ability to maintain focus and sustain attention during learning activities, suggesting that classical music supports environment for academic engagement. Results reinforce the importance of innovative educational interventions that address cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors in the learning process.
