Abstract:
Objective In this paper,we aimed at discussing the impacts of follow-up nursing on treatment compliance and lung function of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)during the rehabilitation period after discharge.Methods COPD patients(68 cases)were divided randomly into the intervention group and the control group with 34 cases in each group.We gave the intervention group follow-up nursins during the ensuing 6 months after discharge to give them guidance on health problems in order to promote the treatment compliance of patients.On the contrary,the control group did not take any follow-up nursing.Six months later,we conducted an evaluation of the tmalment compliance and amelioration of lung function in the t wo groups.Results As a result,six months after discharge,the patients'treatment compliance status and lung-function indicators in the intervention group were significantly better than those of the control group(P＜0.01).Conclusions The follow-up nursingcan promote the COPD patients'treatment compliance status and amelioration of lung function during the rehabilitation period.
