Objective To construct home-based rehabilitation nursing program for elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease based on functional physical fitness index.
Methods Through literature search, case review and the daily needs, disease characteristics, physical fitness and other core indicators of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the first draft of home rehabilitation nursing program for elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was constructed. The expert consultation questionnaire was prepared, and 12 experts related to respiratory and rehabilitation were selected through group discussion, and two rounds of expert consultation were conducted.
Results The recovery rate of the two rounds of expert consultation questionnaires was 83.3 % for both rounds, with an expert authority coefficient of 0.90. The home-based rehabilitation nursing program consists of four primary indicators, eleven secondary indicators, and thirty-three tertiary indicators.
Conclusion The home-based rehabilitation nursing program for elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease constructed based on functional physical fitness is feasible, scientific and innovative, which can provide theoretical basis for clinical application.
