The Impact of a Multidisciplinary Nursing Model on the Quality of Life of COPD Patients in Remission in the Elderly

Abstract

Objective: To study the effects of multidisciplinary nursing model on self-care ability, lung function, exercise endurance, negative emotion and quality of life of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: 80 patients with COPD hospitalized in the Aerospace Center Hospital from August 2019 to August 2020 were recruited. They were randomly divided into control group and experimental group, with 40 patients in each group. The patients in the control group received routine nursing, and the patients in the experimental group received multidisciplinary nursing intervention on the basis of routine nursing. The nursing observation time of the two groups was 8 weeks. Results: after 8 weeks of nursing intervention, it was found that FEV1 / FVC and 6MWD in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in SAS score and SDS score between the two groups before nursing, but it was significantly lower in the observation group after nursing. The difference between the above data was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The SGRQ score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: the application of multidisciplinary nursing model can effectively improve the exercise endurance of elderly patients with COPD, eliminate the negative emotions of patients, and improve the quality of life of patients. The comprehensive application value is significant.
