| Sumario: | This study was conducted for the aim of assessing the effect of nursing care applied to patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on their sexual experiences and quality of life. The sample of the study was determined via power analysis, patients were assigned groups using a simple random sampling method. The data were collected between December 2019–June 2020. The researcher applied the nursing care to patients in the experimental group in their home three times. There was a statistically significant difference between posttest mean scores of the Short Form-36 Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire subscales and Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale of the patients in the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). In this study, it was determined that there was an increase in the Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire mean score of patients with COPD after the nursing care; whereas, there was a slight decrease in the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale mean score. |
