This school-based study analyzed the impact of RGI on lung functioning (forced expiratory volume in 1 s [FEV1] and forced expiratory flow 25-75 [FEF25-75]) and by employing a multiple baseline design across 3 high school students with asthma and clinically diagnosed anxiety disorders. The RGI intervention took place for a 20-min period, an average of three times per week, over a 4-week period. At the onset of the intervention, it was found that lung functioning, particularly FEV1 increased in all 3 participants, with effect sizes ranging from —.32 to —2.48. FEF25-75 improved in one of the participants. In addition, a positive impact was also seen in the lowering of anxiety scores across all 3 participants, with effect sizes ranging from .12 to 1.69.
Cette étude école-basé a analysé l’impact de RGI sur fonctionner de poumon (a forcé le volume expiratoire dans de 1 seconde [FEV1] et flux expiratoire forcé 25-75 [FEF25-75]) et anxiété en employant une conception de base multiple à travers 3 lycéens avec l’asthme et les désordres d’anxiété d’un point de vue clinique diagnostiqués. L’intervention de RGI a intervenu pour une période de 20 minute, une moyenne de trois fois par la semaine, sur une période de 4 semaines. Au début de l’intervention, il a été trouvé que le poumon fonctionne, notamment FEV1 a augmenté dans tous les trois participants avec les tailles d’effet qui étend de -. 32 à -2.48. FEF25- 75 a amélioré dans un des participants. En plus, un impact positif a été aussi vu dans la baisse de scores d’anxiété à travers tous les trois participants, avec les tailles d’effet qui étend de 0,12 à 1,69.
