Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate the effect of focused nursing care on treatment compliance and prognosis of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Methods: A total of 100 drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients who were treated in Shenyang 10th People’s Hospital from December 2021 to November 2022 were selected as the research subjects. According to the admission time, they were divided into a control group (50 cases) and an observation group (50 cases) using a random number table method. The control group adopted routine nursing mode, while the observation group adopted cluster nursing in addition to the routine nursing mode. The scores of treatment compliance, physical recovery, and psychological recovery between the two groups were compared. Results: The treatment compliance, physical recovery, and psychological recovery scores of the observation group were 41.89±2.35, 51.56±4.56, and 55.53±5.75, respectively, and were 15.19±3.26, 34.62±3.17, and 32.35±5.42, respectively, in the control group. The scores of all indicators in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (t values were 13.271, 15.231, and 12.241, respectively, all P<0.05). The nursing satisfaction rate in the observation group was 96.0% (48/50), which was significantly higher than that in the control group (60.0% (30/50)), and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=13.785, P<0.05). Conclusion: During the treatment of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients, adopting focused nursing care can effectively improve the treatment compliance, improve the quality of life, and enhance the confidence.
