This paper describes a number of psychological variables useful in the care of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. Attention to these factors does not replace destroyed lung tissue. Yet such efforts can lead to meaningful improvement in performance for many patients. The prolongation of life is not the only goal of comprehensive care. Equally important to the patient and his family are efforts to function as well and as comfortably as possible throughout the remainder of his life.
本文描述了一些对慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者护理有用的心理变量。关注这些因素并不能替代已受损的肺组织。然而，这样的努力可以使许多患者的表现得到有意义的改善。延长生命并非综合护理的唯一目标。对患者及其家人同样重要的是，在其余生中尽可能良好且舒适地生活。
