The Importance of Exercise Therapy in Pulmonary Rehabilitation of Lungs Cancer Patients

Abstract

    The study titled "The Importance of Exercise Therapy in Rehabilitation of Lungs Cancer Patients: An Analysis of The Patients Through Exercise Therapy" was conducted in Shaukat Khanam Memorial Hospital and Institute of Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine hospital, Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The data were collected on exercise therapy (independent variables) and Pulmonary Rehabilitation of lungs cancer (dependent variable). Whereas the Chi- square test was used to test the association among the study variables. The association of pulmonary rehabilitation was found highly significant with regular exercise increases exercise tolerance (P=0.000,) recreational physical activities enhance disease tolerance (P=0.000), physical exercise improves the better health condition of the victims (P=0.003), physical exercise-based rehabilitation improves life expectancy (P=0.022), the universe for the present study was Shaukat Khanam Memorial Hospital and Institute of Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine hospital, Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. A sample size of 152 respondents was selected through a simple random sampling procedure. The main aim of therapy is to reduce the severity of the disease, which in turn would lead to proper rehabilitation and the rest of the patients was suggested as policy recommendation.
