This study explores the effect of psychological nursing interventions on the improvement of negative emotions and psychological states in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) combined with respiratory failure. A total of 100 patients with COPD complicated by respiratory failure, admitted from January 2023 to December 2024, were selected. They were randomly assigned to 2 groups: the control group (received routine nursing) and the experimental group (received psychological nursing interventions), with 50 patients in each group. The differences in negative emotions, mental states, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction before and after the intervention were compared between the 2 groups. After the intervention, both the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale scores in both groups significantly decreased, with the experimental group showing a more significant reduction (P < .05). The Symptom Checklist-90 scores also showed a decreasing trend after the intervention in both groups, and the experimental group exhibited a greater decrease (P < .05). The Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 improved in both groups after the intervention, with the experimental group showing a more significant improvement than the control group (P < .05). The satisfaction rate of the experimental group was also significantly higher than that of the control group (P < .05). Implementing psychological nursing interventions in patients with COPD and respiratory failure can effectively alleviate negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, improve mental states, enhance quality of life, and increase patient satisfaction with nursing services.
