To evaluate the impact of a nurse-led aerobic pulmonary rehabilitation model on exercise tolerance, quality of life, and physiological indicators in COPD patients.
Prospective enrollment of 80 patients with moderate to severe COPD from January 2024 to August 2025.
Patients were randomly divided into intervention (n=40) and control (n=40) groups, with the intervention receiving additional nurse-led care.
The primary outcome was the 6-min walk distance, assessed at baseline and after 4 weeks.
The intervention group showed a significant improvement in the 6-min walk distance (406.42 ± 34.01 m vs. 380.03 ± 44.70 m, p=0.004) compared to control.
CAT scores significantly improved in both groups, with intervention showing markedly better outcomes (p < 0.001).
The intervention group demonstrated significantly lower Borg scores (3.26 ± 0.27 vs. 4.10 ± 0.46, p < 0.001) and higher Barthel index scores (64.22 ± 6.30 vs. 56.49 ± 4.40, p < 0.001).
