Abstract:

Pneumoconiosis is one of the serious occupational diseases in China,which is a systemic disease mainly caused by diffuse fibrosis of lung tissue due to long-term inhalation of large amounts of dust. Pneumoconiosis often does not have obvious symptoms and signs in the early stages,but as the condition progresses,the emergence of complications worsens the condition,seriously damaging the physical and mental health of patients and exacerbating their economic burden. The "Chinese Expert Consensus on the Treatment of Pneumoconiosis(2021 Edition)" points out that patients with pneumoconiosis generally face obstacles in terms of exercise ability,physical function,respiratory ability,as well as psychological and social adaptation ability during the continuous treatment process. By adopting appropriate rehabilitation intervention plans and integrating them into the daily life of patients,long-term adherence to implementation will effectively improve the quality of life of patients,enabling them to better return and adapt to society. At present,the main treatment methods for pulmonary rehabilitation in clinical practice include respiratory training,respiratory muscle training,traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation,psychological intervention,exercise rehabilitation treatment,health education,etc. This article summarizes the research progress of the main rehabilitation strategies for pneumoconiosis and provides suggestions for future development.
