Effects of Comprehensive Pulmonary Rehabilitation Nursing Combined with Health Education on Lung Function and Exercise Endurance in Elderly Male Patients with Silicosis and COPD
Objective To explore the effect of comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation nursing combined with health education in elderly male patients with silicosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods A total of 82 elderly male patients with silicosis and COPD admitted to The Second Special Care Hospital of Shandong Province from May 2021 to May 2023 were selected as the research subjects and were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method,with 41 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing,while the observation group received comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation nursing combined with health education.The rehabilitation compliance,mental state,lung function,exercise endurance,quality of life and nursng satisfaction of the two groups were compared.Results After nursing,the scores of self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P<0.05);the forced vital capacity(FVC),forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)were greater than those in the control group and FEV1/FVC in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,and the walking distance at 6 min was longer than that in the control group,the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P<0.05);the scores of St.George's respiratory questionnaire in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).The nursing satisfaction of the observation group was 95.12%,which was higher than 80.49%of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion with silicosis and COPD has significant effects,which can improve their rehabilitation compliance,lung function,exercise endurance,improve quality of life,and obtain higher nursing satisfaction.
