Background: Asthma is an incurable disease condition. Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways associated with airway hyper responsiveness that leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing particularly at night or in the early morning. The management of bronchial asthma can be both pharmacological and non-pharmacological. Hence the researcher developed an Diaphragmatic breathing exercises among bronchial asthma patients. The researcher interested to conduct an non experimental study with an aim towards Diaphragmatic breathing exercises among bronchial asthma patients. Objectives:1) To assess the pre-test knowledge regarding diaphragmatic breathing exercises among bronchial asthma patients. 2) To find out the association between knowledge and selected demographic variables. Methodology: A quantitative descriptive research design with sample 60 Bronchial asthma patients were selected by non-probability convenience sampling technique. Data were collected using a Structured questionnaire and data analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Therefore, the research hypothesis H2 “There will be significant association between the level of knowledge and selected socio-demographic variables” as stated by the investigator earlier was rejected in the case of demographic variable age, gender, and duration of illness and accepted in the case of other socio-demographic variables such as, educational status. Conclusion: The study concluded that bronchial asthma patients have inadequate to moderate knowledge regarding diaphragmatic breathing exercise. Educational intervention such as informational guide sheet are essential to improve patient awareness and self-management.
