Summary

This study was conducted as a single-group, pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 54 tuberculosis patients registered at a Tuberculosis Dispensary who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate. Data collection tools included the Patient Identification Form, Dyspnea-12 TR Scale, Multidimensional Quality of Life Scale (MILQ), London Chest Activities of Daily Living Scale (LCADL), Tele-Nursing Follow-up Form, and Tele-Nursing Evaluation Form. Descriptive statistics, paired sample t-test, and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test were used for data analysis. The intervention group received structured respiratory exercises training, including abdominal breathing, pursed-lip breathing, and effective coughing, through educational materials (booklet and videos) developed by the researcher. Patients were regularly monitored for 12 weeks via phone calls and video conferencing. Baseline assessments were conducted using data collection tools at the first visit, and post-intervention assessments were performed at the end of week 12 to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.
