Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of empathy theory nursing combined with pulmonary rehabilitation on elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) .Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 120 COPD patients who were treated at the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Huzhou Central Hospital from June 2020 to June 2023. Based on the admission time, the 60 patients admitted from June 2020 to December 2021 were assigned to the control group, and the 60 patients admitted from January 2022 to June 2023 were assigned to the intervention group. The control group received routine nursing care and pulmonary rehabilitation training, while the intervention group received empathy theory nursing and pulmonary rehabilitation training. Both groups were intervened for two months. Pulmonary function was assessed using maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) , peak expiratory flow (PEF) , forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV 1) , forced vital capacity (FVC) , and FEV 1/FVC ratios before and after the intervention. Psychological status was assessed using the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) , and quality of life was assessed using the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) . Results:After the intervention, the MVV, PEF, FEV 1, FVC, and FEV 1/FVC ratios in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05) . The HAMD, HAMA, and SGRQ scores in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Empathy theory nursing combined with pulmonary rehabilitation positively improves pulmonary function, psychological status, and quality of life in COPD patients.
