Objective To provide a guide for clinical nurses to the implementation of pulmonary rehabilitation education on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Methods Following the 6S Pyramid, best practice recommendations report guideline, expert consensus statement, evidence summary, and systematic review concerning pulmonary rehabilitation education for COPD patients were searched in relevant electronic databases. Quality of the included literature was evaluated by two researchers, and the evidence was extracted and summarized. Results Twenty-five publications were eligible, including 11 guidelines, 1 best practice recommendations report, 2 evidence summaries, 5 expert consensus statements, and 6 systematic reviews. Finally, 27 pieces of best evidence were summarized, which embraces 9 themes: principles of education, educator qualifications, target population, education timing, pre-education assessment, educational topics and contents, strategies, methods, and evaluation of effectiveness. Conclusion Evidence summarized in the study would be a guide to implementation of pulmonary rehabilitation education in COPD patients. Before use of the evidence, it is suggested to analyze appropriateness of the evidence and address barriers from stakeholders and the system.
