ABSTRACT

Objective To investiGate the effect of quit smokinG combine with respiratory rehabilitation traininG for quality of life of elderly severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease( COPD patients. Methods One hundred and fifty patients with smokinG history in hospitalized patients with severe COPD were divided into treatment Group( n=75 )and control Group( n =75 ). The patients in control Group were treated with reGular treatment,and in treatment Group were added with quittinG smokinG. Before treatment and 3 months after treatment,6 minutes walk test(6 MWT)distance was measured. The patients in treament Group who quit smokinG sucessful and whose Gener and aGe consistent with them in control Group were both Given respiratory rehabilitation traininG,and 6 MWT distance was measured after 3 months aGain. Results There was statistical siGnificant diference between treatment Group and control Group in term of 6 MWT distance at the first intervetion after 3 months((463. 0±37. 4)m vs.(4ll. 0±4l. 6)m,P<0. 05). There were 38 cases quit smokinG sucessfully in smokinG cessation intervention Group. After rehabilitation traininG,6 MWT distance were increased in smokinG cessation sucessful Group and control Group,and the difference was statistical siGnificant(( 497. 0 ±25. 6 )m, (456. 0±47. 5)m,P<0. 05). Conclusion SmokinG cessation intervention can increase the exercise tolerance of COPD patients,and joint with respiratory rehabilitation traininG can further more improve the exercise tolerance of COPD patients,so that to improve their quality of life.
