Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is included in the four major non-communicable diseases that have a high mortality rate, which leads to high morbidity, lung disability and increased medical costs. Symptoms that appear in COPD patients are shortness of breath, coughing with or without phlegm, increased sputum production, and wheezing. An acute exacerbation of COPD event can be seen from the appearance of these symptoms repeatedly.Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of breathing exercises: pursed-lips breathing and diaphragm breathing in reducing the attack frequency of acute exacerbation in COPD patients.Methods: The method of this research was quasi-experimental: two-group, pretest-posttest design with sample size 16 (8 respondents in each group). Data was analyzed using Mann-Whitney test with significance α < 0.05.Results: Analysis results with Mann-Whitney test was p = 0.00 (< 0.05), which means there an effect of breathing exercises: pursed-lip breathing and diaphragm breathing on decrease the attacks in COPD patients.Conclusion: Therefore, breathing exercise needs to be scheduled as therapy for COPD patients. Key words: Breathing exercise, pursed-lips breathing, diaphragm breathing.
