Abstract： Objective： To observe the effect of Chinese medicine intervention of pulmonary rehabilitation training combined with emotional nursing on lung function， inflammatory cytokines in induced sputum and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) at stable stage. Methods： A total of 98 elderly patients with COPD at stable stage were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table method，49 patients in each group. The control group was given routine nursing in the department of respiratory medicine，and the observation group was additionally given Chinese medicine intervention of pulmonary rehabilitation training and emotional nursing based on the treatment of the control group. The nursing time in both groups were three months. Before and after nursing，the lung function indexes，the levels of inflammatory cytokines in induced sputum and the scores of seattle obstructive lung disease questionnaire(SOLDQ) in the two groups were compared. Results：Compared with those before nursing，the one-second rate and ventilation reserve(VR) in both groups were improved after nursing(P＜0.05)，and the improvement of the above two indexes in the observation group was better than that in the control group(P＜0.05). After nursing，the levels of hyper-sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) in induced sputum in both groups were lower than those before nursing(P＜0.05)， and the levels of interleukin- 10(IL- 10) were higher(P＜0.05)； the level of hs- CRP in induced sputum in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05)，and the level of IL- 10 was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05). Compared with those before nursing， the scores of physical function， coping ability， emotional function and care satisfaction in SOLDQ in both groups were all increased after nursing(P＜0.05)，and the above four scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05). Conclusion：For elderly patients with COPD at stable stage，the Chinese medicine intervention of pulmonary rehabilitation training combined with emotional nursing，can help improve the lung function and quality of life，and regulate the level of inflammatory cytokines.
