Abstract:Objective To explore the application of continuing care program on subjective happiness and self-management in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (hereinafter referred to as “chronic obstructive lung”). Methods A total of 94 elderly patients with COPD who were selected in the 904th Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army Joint Logistic Support Force from August 2020 to October 2021 were selected as the research objects, according to the random sampling method, they were divided into control group and observation group, with 47 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing, and the observation group was given continuous care on the basis of the control group. The subjective happiness, self-management score, and pulmonary function improvement before and after intervention were compared between the two groups. Results After intervention, the pulmonary function indexes of the two groups were higher than those before intervention, and the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); the subjective happiness scores of the two groups were higher than those before intervention, and the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); the self-management scores of the two groups were higher than those before intervention, and the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion The application of continuous care program for elderly COPD patients can improve the subjective sense of happiness of patients, improve self-management ability, improve pulmonary function indicators, and facilitate the rapid prognosis of patients, which is worthy of reference and adoption by various departments.
