The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of the I COUGH care program following major abdominal surgery dyspnea, oxygen saturation, pulmonary function, mobility, and pain after major abdominal surgery (MAS), participants were subjected to the "I COUGH" care program designed to support their health condition and reduce complications. The study aimed to investigate a simple and inexpensive pulmonary care program that can be easily understood and remembered by patients, their families, and medical staff. Ho: The I COUGH care program after MAS does not improves pulmonary functions, oxygen saturation, mobility and decrease dyspnea and pain after MAS. H1: The I COUGH care program improves pulmonary functions, oxygen saturation mobility and decrease dyspnea and pain after MAS.
