Abstract:

Objective To analyze the effects of clustering nursing intervention on compliance and quality of life of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients after discharge.Methods Sixty drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients admitted from July 2016 to February 2017 were selected as control group and another 60 cases treated from March to October 2017 as observation group. The control group was given routine nursing, and the observation group was given clustering nursing intervention on the basis of routine nursing. The compliance and quality of life before and after nursing were compared between the two groups.Results The therapeutic compliance rate in the observation group was 95.0% (57/60), which was higher than that in the control group (83.3%, 50/60); the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.23, P<0.05). The scores of body function, psychological function and social function after nursing were (53.18±10.93), (48.67±8.22) and (49.17±9.15) in the observation group and (47.12±11.09), (44.16±6.34) and (43.18±8.29) in the control group, respectively. The scores in the observation group were higher when compared with the control group, with statistical significances (t=3.01, 3.36, and 3.76, all Ps<0.05).Conclusion Clustering nursing intervention can effectively improve the com-pliance and quality of life of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients after discharge.
