Recent Research Advancements in Interventions and Assessments Related to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Rehabilitation

Abstract

The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease states that pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) can improve patients’ health and prevent progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). By searching the relevant literature on lung ventilation both in China and abroad, and reviewing the impact of physical exercise, nutrition intervention, physical education, and psychological intervention on lung ventilation measures in COPD patients, this paper aims to provide guidance for clinical nurses in implementing PR in COPD patients.
