Abstract

Community nursing plays a pivotal role in delivering holistic end-of-life care to patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), addressing their physical, emotional, and social needs within familiar environments. This article explores how community nurses provide symptom management, psychological support, and care coordination for COPD patients, enhancing quality of life in their final stages. By fostering continuity of care and collaborating with families and multidisciplinary teams, community nursing bridges gaps in traditional healthcare settings. The study reviews current practices, evaluates their effectiveness, and discusses their impact on patient outcomes, emphasizing the value of home-based, person-centered care for this vulnerable population
