- description
- Patients with lung cancer admitted to the outpatient chemotherapy unit will be given pranayama breathing exercises every day for 4 weeks, covering 15-20 minutes. In patient education, the pranayama breathing exercise will be applied face-to-face by the researcher on the first day of chemotherapy treatment, before drug treatment. The application steps will be repeated until the patient learns, both by explaining and showing the patient, and if there are points that the patient cannot do, they will be corrected. When the patients are observed to perform the application fully and the chemotherapy treatments are finished, they will be asked to do the pranayama breathing exercise every day for 4 weeks, and with the same researcher 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday) with a smart phone whatsapp video call, the effectiveness and continuity of the application will be ensured and the patients will be monitored.

- Applications to the Control Group
- description
- A pre-test will be applied to lung cancer patients in the control group who applied to the day chemotherapy unit. After the application of the personal information form and the quality of life scale, no breathing exercises will be performed. Individuals will continue their daily lives. After 4 weeks, the quality of life scale will be administered again. After the implementation of the quality of life scale, pranayama breathing exercise training will be given to all control group patients and they will be applied for 2 sessions.(The study will begin before the patients in both the experimental and control groups receive chemotherapy, which is their routine treatment).
