A growing number of empirical studies have revealed that deep breathing exercise may triggerbody relaxation responses and benefit both physical and mental health. Deep breathing exerciseisone of the most important and instant of all the vital functions of the body.Coughing is a form ofviolent exhalation by which irritant particles in the airways can be expelled. It is something thatoccurs spontaneously, which influences the activities of each and every cell in the body. NormalBreathing pattern of an Individual becomes altered in certain conditions such as prolongedexposure in work places, respiratory infections, diagnostic procedures and surgery. Deepbreathing exercises are used to improve pulmonary gas exchange or to maintain respiratoryfunction.The use of alternative ways of treatment that are as efficacious as the standard treatmentis the need of the hour. A quasi-experimental two group pre-test post-test research design studywas conducted to assess knowledge of workers regarding deep breathing exercise for which 100subjects were selected by total enumerative sampling technique. After data collectionobservational checklistwas used to assess the knowledgeregarding deep breathing exerciseamongboth groups (control and experimental group respectively). The data was analyzed by descriptiveand inferential statistics using chi-square and t-test. The findings revealed that majority of thestudy subjects 43(86%)had good knowledge, 7(14%)had averageknowledge &2(4%)had average knowledge with post-test mean score 19.52±2.1, median 19.00, and standard deviation 2.11. inexperimental group
