Effect of diversified health education on respiratory muscle exercise in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Objective:To observe the effect of the education mode on respiratory muscle exercise in elderly patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(sCOPD)after applying diversified health education.Methods:In this prospective study,106 elderly sCOPD patients admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to November 2023 were included in this study and divided into group A and group B according to random number table method.Patients in group B received routine health education,and patients in group A received diversified health education based on group B.Self-efficacy,disease cognition score,maximal voluntary ventilation(MVV)and six minutes walk test(6MWT)of the two groups were compared before intervention and 3 months after intervention.The respiratory function exercise compliance of the two groups was compared after 3 months of intervention.Results:After 3 months of intervention,the self-efficacy scores of patients in both groups increased compared with those before intervention,and the scores in group A were higher than those in group B(P<0.05).After 3 months of intervention,the scores of basic knowledge,treatment knowledge,self-care and pulmonary rehabilitation exercise in both groups were higher than before intervention,and the scores in group A were higher than those in group B(P<0.05).After 3 months of intervention,the levels of MVV and 6MWT in 2 groups were higher than before intervention,and group A was higher than group B(P<0.05);(4)The number of patients in group A who performed lip contraction breathing,abdominal breathing and systemic breathing exercises on time was significantly higher than that in group B.Conclusion:The intervention effect of diversified health education is ideal for elderly sCOPD patients,which can significantly improve patients'self-efficacy and cognitive level,enhance lung function and limb motor function,and improve exercise compliance.
