Objective To explore the effects of “hospital–community integrated transitional care” model on quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods A total of 117 inpatients with COPD from the Department of Respiratory Medicine in a tertiary general hospital in Nanjing were enrolled by convenience sampling from January to December in 2016 and then were divided into intervention group ( n  = 60) and control group ( n  = 57) by random number table. Patients in the intervention group accepted both routine care and hospital–community integrated transitional care for 3 months after discharge. Assessment of quality of life by telephone follow-up or interview within a week before discharge and 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge was evaluated using the Short Form-36 (SF-36) health survey questionnaire. Results For a total score of quality of life, there was a significant difference between the two groups ( P    0.05) except vitality dimension, 1 month after discharge, and there were significant differences in all dimensions, 3 and 6 months after discharge ( P  &lt; 0.05) Conclusions Hospital–community integrated transitional care model can improve the quality of life of patients with COPD.
