Objective To observe the effects of continuity of care on lung function, psychological status, and nursing compliance in COPD patients with respiratory failure. Methods 54 COPD patients (with respiratory failure symptoms) from our hospital (March 2021 to March 2022) were selected as medical observation subjects. According to the random number method, the experimental group (27 cases of continuity care) and the control group (27 cases of routine care) were divided into two groups, and the nursing effects of the two groups were compared. Results There was no statistically significant difference in lung function and psychological indicators between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05); After intervention, the lung function (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC), psychological state (BAI, BDI), and nursing compliance of the experimental group were all better than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Under continuity of care intervention, COPD patients with respiratory failure can significantly improve their lung function status, alleviate negative psychological effects, and promote healthy living for patients.
