        abstract = {Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is very common in general population. It is a slowly progressing disease involving the airways or pulmonary parenchyma resulting in airflow obstruction. The most common factor leading to COPD is cigarette smoking, exposure to occupational dust and chemicals. The symptom of COPD ranges from dyspnoea, chronic cough with or without sputum production. An Interventional package containing education and deep breathing exercises improved the health status and increased the exercise tolerance of patients with COPD. 
Methodology: The research design adopted was quasi experimental with two group pre test post test design. Purposive sampling technique was followed to obtain a sample of 60 COPD patients (30 COPD patients in experimental groups and 30 COPD patients in control groups) Pre test and post test assessment was done by using pulmonary functional parameters. An Interventional package containing educational phase was provided for 15-20 minutes daily and deep breathing exercises were administered 2 cycles per day for 7 days to the experimental group whereas control group was not given any intervention. Post test was conducted after intervention both experimental and control group.
Result: Breath holding time Posttest t=-1.16,DF=56,p=0.250. Data were presented as absolute numbers and percentages. Values of continuous variables are expressed as a mean ± standard deviation (SD) and the values were compared using two sample T test. Categorical variables are represented as frequency distributions and single percentages. Categorical variables were compared by chi-square test and Fisher's exact test Where appropriate. Results were considered statistically significant at a level of P less than 0.05. 
Conclusion: The findings of the study enlighting the fact that an interventional package can be used as a cost effective nursing intervention in reducing the dyspnoea. The results showed that there is an association.},
