Objective To understand the obstacles in the practice of pulmonary rehabilitation between doctors and patients.Methods Medical staff and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in public hospitals in this region were randomly sampled, and a questionnaire survey was conducted on possible obstacles to the practice of pulmonary rehabilitation.Results Total of 265 medical staff and 120 COPD patients were recruited in this survey. The obstacles of pulmonary rehabilitation practice of medical staff in clinical work are poor cooperation of patients and their families (84.2%), medical staff’s insufficient awareness of pulmonary rehabilitation (82.3%), and lack of practice and guidelines (78.9%), lack of objective conditions such as site, equipment and equipment (75.1%), lack of multidisciplinary teams (74.3%), pulmonary rehabilitation has fallen by the wayside (73.6%) etc. The main obstacles for COPD patients in pulmonary rehabilitation are lack of access to relevant knowledge (52.4%), insufficient knowledge (36.5%), inconvenient transportation, economic problems and other objective conditions (33.3%). After multiple correspondence analysis, there are differences in the degree of correlation between obstacle factors and groups with different characteristics.Conclusions There are many factors hindering the development of pulmonary rehabilitation and there are certain differences among different populations, but the lack of understanding of pulmonary rehabilitation between doctors and patients is the primary problem. It is necessary to improve the cognition of both doctors and patients on pulmonary rehabilitation, and then to solve the obstacles in the implementation of pulmonary rehabilitation.
