Abstract：ObjectiveTo explore the effect of rehabilitation nursing on pulmonary functions and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).MethodsAltogether 120 cases of COPD patients who were treated in our hospital from January 2015 to June 2016 in Department of Respiratory Medicinewere involved in this study and divided into control group and observation group according to the admission time number,60 cases in each group.The control group was treated with routine therapy and nursing;while,the observation group was adopted rehabilitation nursing measures.The changes of lung functions and quality of life were compared between the two groups.ResultsPost-intervention pulmonary function indexes such as FVC,FEV1,FVC/FEV1,PEFand MMEF of the patients in observation group were significantly improved than those before intervention(P＜0.05),compared with control group,the differences were significant(P＜0.05).Post-intervention 6 MWT of patients in observation group was significantly increased than that before intervention(P＜0.05),compared with control group,the difference was significant(P＜0.05).Post-intervention dimension scores of respiratory symptoms,activity limitation and the impact of disease in SGRQ of patients in observation group were significantly reduced (P＜0.05)in contrast with those before intervention and had statistically significant difference compared with those of control group (P＜0.05).ConclusionRehabilitation nursing measures can improve the lung functions,enhance exercise tolerance and improve the quality of life in elderly patients with COPD,which is of great value in clinical application.
