Abstract:

Objective To explore the effect of diverse nursing intervention measures on respiratory function exercise of MDR-TB (multidrug-resistant tuberculosis) patients.Methods A total of 123 inpatients with MDR-TB were enrolled in Xi’an Chest Hospital from Oct 2015 to Sep 2017. Fifty four cases of MDR-PTB inpatients from Oct 2015 to Sep 2016 (control group) were educated tuberculosis knowledge by nurses and breathing function exercise during hospitalization. Meanwhile,they were provided health education prescriptions and reminded exercise after discharged from hospital and required rechecking. Sixty nine cases of MDR-PTB inpatients from Oct 2016 to Sep 2017 (observation group) received more comprehensive and effective intervention measures including education in beeper, respiratory function training in video, health education in brochures and bulletin board, multimedia health education symposium (WeChat group, Wechat Official Account) and learning breathing exercise from nurses. One hundred and twenty-three patients were investigated about compliance, methods and knowledge of respiratory function exercise by face-to-face communication after 3 months discharge. SPSS 18.0 software was used for statistics, and counting data were tested by chi square test. P<0.05 was as the significant difference statistically.Results The compliance rate of respiratory function exercise (81.16% (56/69)), mastery rate of respiratory function exercise (84.06% (58/69)), awareness rate of knowledge of disease and respiratory function exercise (81.16% (56/69)), the rate of satisfaction with nursing work (94.20% (65/69)) in observation group were higher than that in the control (53.70% (29/54),51.85% (28/54),64.81% (35/54),81.48% (44/54))(χ 2=10.70,P=0.001;χ 2=14.39,P=0.000;χ 2=4.20,P=0.040;χ 2=4.86,P=0.027, respectively). The reasons for the two groups of patients who did not exercise respiratory function were “it is considered ineffective “(44.74% (17/38)),” no time “(7.89% (3/38)),” method not mastered “(10.53% (4/38)),” cause of disease “(15.79% (6/38)),” unsupervised “(15.79% (6/38))” and “other” (5.26% (2/38)), respectively.Conclusion Diversified nursing intervention can significantly improve the compliance of the MDR-TB patients with respiratory function exercise and the satisfaction to health care work.
