RESUMEN

ObjectiveTo explore the rehabilitation outcome of personalized pulmonary rehabilitation therapy in pneumoconiosis patients in the rehabilitation station. Methods A total of 42 pneumoconiosis patients were selected as the study subjects from seven pneumoconiosis rehabilitation stations in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region using the judgment sampling method. Patients were treated with personalized rehabilitation therapy for three months, and the outcome was analyzed. Results The six-minute walking test distance, maximum inspiratory pressure, maximum expiratory pressure, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and FEV1/FVC ratio of the pneumoconiosis patients were higher after rehabilitation therapy than those before therapy (all P<0.05). The score of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test of patients after therapy was lower than that in pre-treatment (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in respiratory difficulty, Borg scale, balance ability, depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, nutritional status scores, body mass index, blood oxygen saturation, and heart rate before and after rehabilitation therapy (all P>0.05). Conclusion The individualized pulmonary rehabilitation therapy of pneumoconiosis patients at pneumoconiosis rehabilitation station can improve the respiratory muscle strength and lung function of patients, and improve their quality of life.
