Abstract
Incentive spirometry is a device used to measure the volume of the air inhaled into
the lungs during inspiration. A cross-sectional study has been conducted to determine the
knowledge of lung expansion implementing incentive spirometry. This study also
examines the difference of knowledge of score of incentive spirometry between degree
and diploma of nursing students and the correlation between clinical experience and
knowledge of score of incentive spirometry among degree and diploma of nursing
students. Independent t-test was used to identify the difference of knowledge of score of
incentive spirometry between degree and diploma of nursing students. Pearson’s
correlation test was used to determine correlation between clinical experience and
knowledge of score of incentive spirometry among degree and diploma of nursing
students. A total of 181 nursing students, 76 students were Bachelor of Nursing, and 105
students were from Diploma in Nursing were recruited through stratified sampling. Data
were collected from March 2022 until May 2022 using google form and analyzed using
SPSS version 26.0 for a window. The results revealed degree and diploma of nursing
students have same knowledge regarding incentive spirometry as there was no mean
difference in knowledge of score of incentive spirometry (p-value=0.166). There was no
correlation to be found between clinical experience and knowledge of score of incentive
spirometry between degree and diploma of nursing students (p-value= 0.091). In
