| Objective: To explore the effects of music therapy on cardiopulmonary function, quality of life, emotional state and sleep quality of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: From Jan. 1, 2016 to Dec. 31, 2017, 30 COPD patients admitted in our hospital were divided into the experimental group and control group according to the random number table method, 15 cases in each group. Both groups were given regular medical treatment and rehabilitation specialist nursing, and the experimental group was treated with music therapy for assisted pulmonary rehabilitation training intervention, and the control group was given routine pulmonary rehabilitation training. The treatment time of the two groups was 45 min each time' 5 times/week for 12 weeks. The cardiopulmonary function before and after the intervention, the quality of life, emotional state and the sleep quality were compared between two groups. Results: After 12 weeks of intervention, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) (%), FEV1% pred, anerobic threshold (AT), ventilation relative to carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO2) in both groups were significantly higher, and the Borg index significantly lower than pretreatment (all P<0.05), more significant in the experimental group than in control group (P<0.05). The 6 minute walking distance in the experimental group was significantly longer than in the control group (P<0.05). The SF 36 (the MOS item short from health survey) index scores in both groups were significantly higher than pretreatment (P<0.05), more significant in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). After 12 weeks of intervention, the scores of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in both groups were significantly lower than pretreatment, more significant in the experimental group than in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Music therapy for assisted pulmonary rehabilitation training can more significantly improve the pulmonary function, the quality of life, the mental, emotional, and sleep status, and enhance the endurance of the movement in COPD patients than the routine pulmonary rehabilitation. |
