This research is a randomized controlled trial with a two-group pretest-posttest design. Its purpose was to study the effects of an effective breathing training Program on cooperation and oxygen saturation in the elderly with ophthalmic surgery under general anesthesia. The sample comprised 66 elderly individuals undergoing ophthalmic surgery under general anesthesia at Metta Pracharak Hospital (Wat Rai Khing). They were assigned to the experimental and the control group, with each group consisting of 33 participants. Research instruments were 1) tools for screening samples, 2) the cooperation assessment tool, 3) tools for conducting experiments, and 4) tools for directing experiments. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and Repeated Measures ANOVA.
The result revealed that after receiving the program, the experimental group had significantly more cooperation than the control group at every stage (p <.05). The results of the comparison of oxygen saturation between the control group and the experimental group in each period at preoperative anesthesia, 60 minutes before discharged to ward and 1-8 hours after general anesthesia there was a statistically significant difference (p < .05) but the initial period first receive at recovery room was not different (p > .05). The study suggests that an effective breathing exercise program can be used in nursing to create cooperation among clients and lead to normal levels of oxygen saturation values.
