Effects of comprehensive evaluation and nursing on the rehabilitation and pulmonary function of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Objective To explore the effects of comprehensive evaluation and nursing on the rehabilitation and lung function of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods A total of 92 elderly COPD patients admitted to Sixth People's Hospital of Nantong from April 2019 to April 2022 were divided into two groups according to the random number table,with 46 patients in each group.The control group adopted routine nursing and the observation group received comprehensive evaluation and nursing.The quality of life,lung function and self-management ability of the two groups were compared.Results There was no significant difference in each parameter between the two groups before the intervention(P>0.05).After the intervention,the SGRQ,the forced vital capacity(FVC),the ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to vital capacity(FEV1/FVC),the maximum ventilation volume(MVV)and the diffusion volume of carbon monoxide(DLCO)in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The scores of cognitive management(disease knowledge cognition,emotional cognition)and behavioral management(control of inducement,diet,disease monitoring)in the control group were significantly lower than those in the observation group(P<0.05).Conclusion The comprehensive evaluation and nursing for the elderly COPD patients can effectively improve their quality of life and lung function and enhance their self-management ability.
