- Multidisciplinary team (MDT)-based stepped nursing intervention was associated with improved pulmonary function (FEV₁, FVC, FEV₁/FVC, MMEF) in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD).
- The intervention led to significant reductions in anxiety and depression scores compared to routine care.
- Patient satisfaction with nursing care was significantly higher in the MDT group than in the routine group.
- Results indicate improvements in dyspnea severity, psychological status, and quality of life, but findings are associative, not causal.
- Further prospective studies with adjusted analyses and longer follow-up are recommended.
