Materials and Methods: In this study quasi - experimental (one group pre and post-test) design was applied. Purposive sampling technique was used and to assign the 50 COPD patients who met the inclusion criteria. The breathing exercise was given in the morning and evening for 7 continuous days.

Abstract: Today's children are tomorrow's responsible citizens of the world. Nearly one in five children and adolescents has emotional and behavioral disorders at some point of time in their young lives, regardless of their geographic region or socio-economic status. Recent evidence by WHO indicates that by 2020 childhood neuropsychiatric disorders will rise proportionately by over 50%, and would be the fifth most common cause of morbidity, mortality and disability among children. Epidemiologically estimates suggest that approximately 14-20% of all children from birth to 18 years of age have some type of psychiatric disorders and about 3% to 5% have serious disorders. The objectives of the study were to assess the knowledge of teachers regarding behavioral disorders, to find out the association between selected socio-demographic variables with knowledge regarding behavioral.......
