Abstract: Objective To study the effect of regulating breathing and nourishing lung exercises on the quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in stable period. Methods Using convenient sampling method, 80 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in stable stage who were admitted from March 2022 to October 2022 were selected as the study subjects which were randomly divided into control group and observation group with 40 cases each. The control group was given routine treatment and nursing, while the observation group was given routine treatment and nursing plus breathing and lung exercises intervention. The quality of life scores and six-minute walking test distance of the two groups were compared after 8 and 16 weeks of intervention. Results After 8 and 16 weeks of intervention, the quality of life scores of the observation group decreased, and the six-minute walking test distance increased. The difference was statistically significant between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Breath-regulating and lung exercises can improve the quality of life and exercise endurance of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in stable stage.
