Abstract:

Sleep disorders are highly prevalent among elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), typically characterized by fragmented sleep architecture, nocturnal hypoxemia, and decreased sleep efficiency—factors that significantly impair disease prognosis and overall quality of life. This review synthesizes current domestic and international evidence on the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and recent advances in nursing management of sleep disorders in COPD. The aim is to inform the development of evidence-based, individualized sleep care strategies for improved clinical outcomes.
