Objective To analyze the efficacy of respiratory training combined with aerobic resistance training in pulmonary rehabilitation care for COPD patients. Methods A total of 60 COPD patients undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation training were enrolled between January and December 2024. The patients were randomly assigned to a control group (30 cases receiving conventional nursing care) and an observation group (30 cases receiving respiratory training combined with aerobic resistance training). The nursing outcomes were evaluated through comparison of the two groups 'mMRC scores, blood gas analysis indicators, 6-minute walk distance, quality of life scores, and nursing satisfaction. Results Both groups showed significant improvements post-nursing care, but the observation group demonstrated higher quality of life scores and nursing satisfaction (P<0.05). The observation group also exhibited lower mMRC scores (P<0.05) and superior blood gas analysis indicators (P<0.05). Additionally, the observation group achieved a longer 6-minute walk distance compared to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Implementing respiratory training combined with aerobic resistance training in pulmonary rehabilitation care for COPD patients yields significant benefits. This approach effectively improves patients' quality of life and nursing satisfaction, enhances respiratory distress and blood gas analysis indicators, and increases 6-minute walk distance, demonstrating high clinical value.
