    Abstract
    BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a respiratory care bundle, including deep breathing exercises, incentive spirometry, and airway clearance techniques, on the quality of life (QoL) of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in Jordan. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A quasi‑experimental study design and convenience sampling method was used to recruit 120 COPD patients, with 54 in the intervention group and 66 in the control group. The intervention group received additional respiratory care bundle training, while the control group received only discharge instructions and an education program. The St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ‑C) was used to assess participants’ QoL before and after the intervention. Independent t‑tests, paired t‑tests, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) analysis were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: The study found no significant differences between patients’ characteristics, health status, and SGRQ‑C scores between the two groups at baseline. After the intervention, there were statistically significant differences in all SGRQ‑C subscales, which were lower in the intervention group compared to the control group. The paired t‑test showed significant reductions in all SGRQ‑C symptoms components (t = 7.62, P < .001), activity component (t = 7.58, P < .001), impact component (t = 7.56, P < .001), and total scores post‑intervention (t = 7.52, P < .001) for the intervention group. The ANCOVA analysis showed significant differences in scores of SGRQ‑C components and total scores (f = 11.3, P < .001) post‑intervention between the two groups. CONCLUSION: The study’s findings suggest that providing additional respiratory care bundle training for COPD patients can significantly improve their QoL, as measured by the SGRQ‑C scores. The respiratory care bundle intervention was effective in reducing COPD symptoms and improving the QoL of COPD patients. Healthcare providers should consider implementing respiratory care bundles as part of COPD management to improve patients’ outcomes.
