Modified Borg Scale
Diagnosing and managing dyspnea in patients with COPD is very important. Although
 pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used in the management of dyspnea, it is
 recommended that pharmacological methods be supported by non-pharmacological methods. Hand
 fan application, which is one of the non-pharmacological methods used in dyspnea management,
 provides an increase in self-efficacy in patients in addition to the stimulation of cold air
 flow to the trigeminal nerve branches, mucosa and skin. Although there are studies reporting
 that applying cold air to the face with a hand fan is effective in reducing the severity of
 dyspnea in different patient groups, the number of studies examining the effectiveness of
 applying cold air to the face with a hand fan in patients with COPD is quite limited. This
 project was planned to determine the effect of applying cold air to the face with a fan on
 the severity of dyspnea and quality of life in COPD patients.
