Objective To analyze the application value of 4S respiratory rehabilitation nursing combined with continuity nursing in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods A retrospective review of clinical data from 80 COPD patients admitted to our department from January to December 2025 was conducted. Forty patients who received routine nursing were assigned to the control group, and forty patients who received 4S respiratory rehabilitation nursing combined with continuity nursing were assigned to the observation group. The intervention outcomes of the two groups were compared. Results Before intervention, there was no significant difference in symptom scores, disease impact scores, and activity capacity scores between the two groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the observation group had significantly lower scores in these three aspects (P<0.05). Before intervention, there was no significant difference in CAT scores, GQOLI-74 scores, and 6MWD between the two groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the observation group had significantly lower CAT scores, higher GQOLI-74 scores, and higher 6MWD (P<0.05). The nursing satisfaction rate of the observation group (97.50%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion For patients with COPD, the application of 4S respiratory rehabilitation nursing combined with continuity nursing can effectively reduce disease severity, improve quality of life and exercise tolerance, and enhance patient nursing satisfaction, thus demonstrating high application value.
