Main aim of the study was evaluate the effectiveness of VATP on selected respiratory problems among the workers. Results and discussion : The mean pretest score of level of knowledge in a group was 9.31 (SD+ 4.47) and posttest mean score 19.83 (SD+ 8.11) respectively . The posttest mean score was higher than the pretest mean score . The mean pretest score level of respiratory symptoms on respiratory problems in a group was 10.59 ( SD+3.03 ) and mean posttest score2.16 (SD+2.98)respectively.
