Among the leading causes of long-term sickness in hong kong was copd. For copd patients, medication wasn't enough. Making ensuring patients understood and adhered to their treatment plans requires a lot of support from many individuals. The purpose of this study was to determine if copd patients' quality of life and adherence to medication might be improved by providing them with nursing education and counselling. For this quantitative investigation, a group of copd patients from hong kong's outpatient clinics were chosen at random. Nursing staff will participate in organised instructional sessions centred on illness awareness, inhaler skills, and medication administration; therapeutic treatments will help increase motivation and ease lifestyle changes; and mental health services will address any difficulties that patients may be experiencing. Patient adherence to treatment regimens was much higher among those who received nursing education and counselling. Also, in terms of self-esteem, everyday functioning, and symptom management, they noted significant improvements in their quality of life assessments. The findings highlighted the significance of nurse-led interventions in copd treatment and supported the incorporation of educational and counselling services into traditional care models. Additional empirical data about the treatment of chronic illnesses in hong kong was added to the growing body of knowledge by this research. It was also said that in order to treat copd effectively over the long term, patient-centered nursing techniques are essential.
