Methods: Select 100 COPD patients from a hospital in Macau who were visited to participate in a survey using a "The Q0L of the COPD patients questionnaire". Results: The overall living quality of the 100 COPD carriers lies above the average, better than those in other regions. Among the four categories, psychological symptom of anxiety and daily living ability are of higher scores while psychological symptom of depression and social activity are of lower scores. The survey shows that the living quality of male COPD carriers is higher than that of female carriers. Also, the living quality of 65 year-old carriers who have lower qualifications and no job, live with the family and have a history of smoking is lower. Conclusion: It is of great value to improve the living quality of the patients that medical servants establish a good psychological status and social relationship by understanding their psychology and the problems in society.
