Background:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common chronic respiratory disease with a long course and recurrent symptoms, seriously affecting patients' quality of life.
Objectives:
This study aimed to explore the interventional value of eight-section brocade exercises in combination with comprehensive measures of the physical function status of patients with COPD.
Method:
This is a retrospective study. A total of 94 COPD patients admitted to the studied hospital were divided into two groups according to different intervention methods. The control group was treated with comprehensive intervention, and the research group received eight-section brocade exercises combined with comprehensive intervention.
Results:
After an intervention, the research group exhibited longer exercise endurance time (p < 0.05); the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scores and quality of life scores in the research group were lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05); sleep quality scores of the research group being lower than those of the control group (p < 0.05); both groups experienced a decrease in adverse emotion scores, with the research group scoring lower than the control group (p < 0.05); the research group achieving better physical function status than the control group (p < 0.05); the nursing efficiency rate and satisfaction rate in the research group was higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
Eight-section brocade exercises can enhance the exercise endurance of and improve the lung function of COPD patients, which is of great significance for the recovery of patients' physical function.
