Analysis of the Effect of Respiratory Rehabilitation Nursing on the Quality of Life of Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Abstract

Objective: To understand the impact of respiratory rehabilitation nursing on the quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to provide a theoretical basis for better clinical implementation of this nursing measure. Methods: 68 COPD patients admitted from September 2022 to July 2023 were selected to determine the type of COPD (mild, moderate, severe) based on clinical manifestations and laboratory test results, and were divided into a study group (42 cases) and a control group (26 cases), with the control group adopting the conventional treatment plan, and the patients in the study group receiving individualized respiratory rehabilitation nursing care. The patients’ respiratory function and quality of life after treatment are observed. Results: The total score of the study group (65.71 ± 12.02) was significantly higher than that of the control group (52.73 ± 11.54), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); in terms of pulmonary function, the results of pulmonary function tests of the two groups of patients were in the normal range after treatment, and the study group was slightly better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); the score of the study group in terms of exercise endurance was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Respiratory rehabilitation nursing can effectively improve the quality of life of COPD patients, and is worthy of popularization and application.
