The major point of this article is that the pathologic process of chronic respiratory disease interacts with psychologic and psychosocial factors as determinants of the respiratory patient's quality of life. The assessment, support, and reinforcement of a patient's psychosocial assets and ability to cope with chronic respiratory difficulty can help enhance that quality. This outcome should be a primary consideration of the nurse caring for a respiratory patient despite the fact that, in this era of cost containment, improved life quality may be an outcome that is overlooked, ignored, or undervalued.
本文的重点是，慢性呼吸道疾病的病理过程与心理和社会心理因素相互作用，共同决定了呼吸道疾病患者的生活质量。评估、支持和强化患者的社会心理资产以及应对慢性呼吸困难的能力，有助于提高生活质量。尽管在这个成本控制的时代，改善生活质量可能是一个被忽视、忽略或低估的结果，但这一结果仍应是护理呼吸道疾病患者的护士的首要考虑因素。
