Objective To explore the integration and practical effects of respiratory chronic disease management education in clinical teaching, taking COPD patients as an example. Methods The samples for this study were selected from 70 COPD patients who visited the respiratory department of our hospital between February 2024 and February 2025. Using the random number table method, patients were evenly divided into two groups, with 35 patients in the observation group and 35 patients in the control group. To ensure the validity of the data, different intervention modes were used. The control group received routine health education, basic disease promotion, and follow-up management; On the basis of conventional treatment, the observation group received systematic respiratory chronic disease management education from interns under the guidance of a supervising teacher. Compare the improvement of acute exacerbation frequency, lung function indicators, and quality of life between the two groups of patients. Results By comparing the lung function indicators of the two groups of patients before and after intervention, it was found that there was no significant difference in FEV, FVC, FEV₁/FVC between the observation group and the control group before intervention, and the difference was not statistically significant, (P＞0.05); There was a significant difference between the two groups after intervention, and the lung function indicators of the observation group patients improved significantly, with statistical significance, (P＜0.05); By comparing the self-management ability scores of two groups of patients after intervention, it was found that the observation group had better scores in symptom management, emotional regulation, medication compliance, follow-up behavior, and healthy lifestyle, and the differences were statistically significant, (P＜0.05); Comparing the incidence of acute exacerbations between two groups of patients after intervention, it was found that the incidence rate in the observation group was only 11.43%, while that in the control group was 25.71%. The observation group had fewer occurrences of acute exacerbations, and the difference was statistically significant, (P＜0.05); Comparing the satisfaction of two groups of patients with health education, it was found that the satisfaction rate of the observation group was 97.14%, while that of the control group was 82.86%. There was a significant difference in the number and satisfaction rate between the two groups, and the difference was statistically significant, (P＜0.05). Conclusion Integrating education on chronic respiratory disease management into clinical teaching practice is beneficial for implementing a patient-centered service policy. Through words and deeds during the teaching process, interns can deepen their understanding of the disease and patients, thereby increasing their sense of responsibility.
