Abstract:
Objective To explore the application effects of psychological support therapy in the treatment of patients with COPD combined with emotional disorders. Methods A total of 100 COPD patients with emotional disorders treated in the First People's Hospital of Shangqiu from March 2015 to March 2017 were selected for the study using convenient sampling. The participants were divided into the control group (n=50) and the observation group (n=50). Patients in the control group were given routine therapy and nursing. Based on the routine therapy and nursing care, the observation group was given additional psychological support therapy. The percentage of FEV1 in predicted value (FEV1%), the ratio of FEV1 in the forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC), scores of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), COPD Assessment Test (CAT), Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Score, the satisfaction degree and happiness degree were compared between two groups. Results There were no significant differences in FEV1% and FEV1/FVC between two groups after the treatment (P>0.05). The observation group had significantly lower scores of HAMA, HAMD, CAT, and mMRC compared with the control group (P< 0.05). The nursing satisfaction level and happiness degree were significantly higher in the observation group compared with the scores in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The psychological support therapy can effectively alleviate unhealthy emotions and improve the dyspnea symptoms in COPD patients combined with emotional disorders. It can also improve their quality of life and satisfaction and happiness level.
