[Abstract] Objective: To explore the clinical effect of psychological nursing intervention on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema. Methods: From january 2018 to December 2022, case data were collected and entered into the file. The subjects were 173 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema admitted to the hospital. The subjects were divided into a control group of 86 patients (who received routine nursing) and an observation group of 87 patients (who received psychological nursing on the basis of routine nursing) based on a standardized grouping of "random number table"; The levels of anxiety and depression, resilience, hope, perceived stress, and nursing satisfaction were observed and compared between the two groups. Results：After intervention, SAS and SDS scores decreased in both groups, with lower scores in the observation group (P<0.05); After intervention, the scores of psychoelasticity CD-RISC increased in both groups, with higher scores in the observation group (P<0.05); After intervention, the HHI score increased and the CPSS score decreased in both groups, with the observation group being better (P<0.05); Nursing satisfaction in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Psychological nursing intervention for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema and respiratory failure can significantly improve their anxiety and depression, enhance their psychological resilience, mobilize their treatment self-confidence, and reduce psychological pressure and burden. It is of great clinical significance.
