Serum albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G, and immunoglobulin M levels were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After nursing, the scores for physical, material, social, and psychological functions in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, traditional Chinese emotional nursing combined with lung rehabilitation training and oral nutrition preparation can relieve negative emotions, promote pulmonary function and nutritional status, and improve the quality of life of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
