Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the psychological condition like anxiety/depression and electronic bronchoscope treatment adherence in bronchial tuberculosis patients. Methods: We selected 120 bronchial tuberculosis patients treated in Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital between January 2020 and December 2021 as research objects. The anxiety and depression scale (SAS, SDS) were used to assess psychological status of patients, and ARS scale was used to assess patient treatment compliance. A Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship of psychological condition(anxiety/depression) and electronic bronchoscope treatment adherence in those bronchial tuberculosis patients. Results: Average SAS score and SDS score of those bronchial tuberculosis patients were 51.61±6.25 and 54.53±7.43 respectively; The average ARS score was 4.02±1.04. Pearson correlation analysis found that SAS and SDS scores of patients were both significantly positively correlated with their ARS scores (r=0.452,P<0.001;r=0.418,P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis results showed that economic income, educational level, SAS and SDS scores were the main factors influencing patients’ ARS scores (β=10.234,t=2.283,P=0.024;β=-3.908,t=2.083,P=0.045;β=4.527,t=2.472,P=0.012;β=6.094,t=2.795,P=0.008). Conclusion: Electronic bronchoscope treatment adherence of bronchial tuberculosis patients was relatively low. Patients with more anxiety or depression got poorer treatment adherence.
