Abstract:
Objective:To explore effects of family aerobic exercise combined with respiratory training on pulmonary function, self-care ability and quality of life in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with frailty.Methods:A total of 86 COPD patients with frailty who were treated in the Outpatient Department in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2018 to March 2019 were selected by the convenient sampling method. They were randomly divided into the control group ( n=43) and the observation group ( n=43) . The control group was given routine health education while the observation group was given family aerobic exercise combined with respiratory training guidance. After 3 months of intervention, pulmonary function meters were used to compare lung function indexes between two groups. Barthel index and COPD Assessment Test (CAT) were used to compare activity of daily living (ADL) and quality of life of patients. Results:38 patients in the observation group and 40 patients in the control group completed the study. After 3 months of intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in lung function indexes between the observation group and the control group ( P> 0.05) . After 3 months of intervention, the Barthel index score of the observation group (71.28±10.02) was higher than that of the control group while CAT score (13.68±5.16) was lower than that of the control group. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t=-2.102, 2.736; P< 0.05) . Conclusions:Family aerobic exercise combined with respiratory training can improve the lung function of COPD patients with frailty and improve their self-care ability and quality of life, which has certain clinical application values.
