Abstract：Objective To analyze the application effect of health education based on the changing law of forgetting curve in the inhalation treatment of stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the elderly. Methods From April 2018 to April 2019, a total of 108 elderly stable COPD patients with inhalation therapy admitted to the First People’s Hospital of Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province were selected and divided into observation group 54 cases and control group 54 cases (2 cases dropped out, 52 cases were actually included) according to the random number table method. The control group was given regular health education, while the observation group jointly applied health education based on the changing law of forgetting curve. Followed up for six months, the correct rate of standardized use of inhalants and compliance with inhalation treatment were compared between the two groups. Results Follow-up for six months, the correct rate of standardized use of inhalants in the observation group was higher than that before education (P ＜ 0.05), and the correct rate of opening, charging, inhaling, closing, and gargle in the control group were higher than before education (P ＜ 0.05); the correct rate of observing assembled medicine, inhaling medicine and holding breath were higher than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.05). Follow-up for six months, ten items of inhalation (except for the control group “I tried to avoid inhalation”) and the overall compliance score of two groups were higher than those before education (P ＜ 0.05). “I will only inhale when needed”, “I will forget to inhale”, “I will change the dosage by myself”, “I will inhale the treatment when other medications are ineffective”, “I will inhale therapy before doing something that may make my breathing difficult” and the overall compliance score of obsarvation group were higher than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Health education based on the changing law of the forgetting curve helps to improve the correct rate of standardized use of inhalants for elderly patients with stable COPD, promotes the development of compliance behaviors for inhalation therapy, and is expected to improve the quality of life of patients.
