Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The research purpose is to investigate the effectiveness of abdominal breathing training on reducing anxiety. This study is an experimental research design. Using a randomized controlled trial approach. The patients receiving the intervention of abdominal breathing training were in the experimental group, while those who did not receive it were in the control group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of the abdominal breathing training on reducing anxiety. Using an experimental randomized controlled trial approach. The experimental group receiving abdominal breathing training, and control group without training. The effectiveness assessment used the Beck anxiety inventory, required to be completed by both the experimental group and control group. This study performed the pre-and-post assessments. This study performed the pre-test before the implementation of abdominal breathing training, and performed the post-test at Week 4 and Week 8 the end of abdominal breathing training. During this period, they received the abdominal breathing training at the outpatient clinic (every day 30 minutes, can include every time during the day). When the subjects were at home, they received self-training using the abdominal breathing training video (once every day and 30 minutes every time).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

The effectiveness of receiving abdominal breathing training

The patients receiving the intervention of abdominal breathing training were in the experimental group. The experimental group received the abdominal breathing training for a total of 8 weeks. During this period, they received the abdominal breathing training at the outpatient clinic (every day 30 minutes, can include every time during the day). When the subjects were at home, they received self-training using the abdominal breathing training video (once every day and 30 minutes every time). The control group without training.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

abdominal breathing training

Intervention Type OTHER

The abdominal breathing training at the outpatient clinic (every day 30 minutes, can include every time during the day). When the subjects were at home, they received self-training using the abdominal breathing training video (once every day and 30 minutes every time).

The effectiveness of not receiving abdominal breathing training

The control group who did not receive abdominal breathing training. The effectiveness assessment used the Beck anxiety inventory and physiological index (heart beats, breath and blood pressure), required to be completed by the control group.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
