Effect of Anticipatory Nursing on Psychological Status and Quality of Life in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Quasi-Experimental Study.
Article in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is frequently accompanied by psychological distress, delayed symptom resolution, and poor quality of life (QoL). Anticipatory nursing interventions may offer a proactive strategy to address these multifaceted challenges, yet their clinical efficacy remains insufficiently established, particularly in resource-constrained settings where holistic care is often lacking. Methods: This quasi-experimental study with historical controls included 369 COPD patients admitted between January 2023 and December 2024. Patients were divided into a control group (n = 186) receiving routine nursing care and an intervention group (n = 183) receiving structured, multidisciplinary anticipatory nursing interventions over a six-month period. The protocol comprised individualized care plans, proactive complication prevention, psychological support, and management of respiratory, circulatory, nutritional, and sleep needs. Outcomes included psychological status (SAS, SDS), symptom resolution time, QoL (GQOLI-74), and complications. Results: All enrolled patients completed the study. Baseline demographic, clinical, and socioeconomic characteristics showed no significant differences between groups. Compared with routine care, anticipatory nursing significantly reduced post-intervention SAS and SDS scores (both p < 0.001), shortened symptom resolution times for dyspnea, cough, wheezing, and chest tightness (all p < 0.001), and improved all QoL domains (p < 0.001). The total complication rate was significantly lower in the intervention group (12.02% vs 33.33%, χ Conclusion: Structured anticipatory nursing significantly improves psychological well-being, accelerates symptom resolution, enhances quality of life, and reduces complications in COPD patients. These findings support integrating proactive, holistic nursing strategies into standard COPD care, offering a viable model for improving outcomes even in settings with limited resources.
