Abstract:

One hundred and twenty-one patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), who were admitted to stay at Shandong Chest Hospital from February 2016 to January 2018, were enrolled into this study. Xiao Shui-yuan’s Social Support Rate Score (SSRS) was used to evaluate the factors relate to the enrolled patients, such as age, sex, education level, residence, course of disease, family function, average annual income and major caregivers. The scores of objective support and subjective support, support utilization, and social support were analyzed. The results showed that the average score of subjective support in 121 patients with pulmonary TB was (14.48±4.13) scores, and the average score of objective support was (8.83±2.47) scores, the score of utilization of support was (7.03±2.75) scores, and the total score was (30.36±6.00) scores. The multiple linear regression method was used to analyze the main factors affecting the level of social support, the results showed that the main factors affecting the level of social support were family function (t=-3.28, P=0.001), educational level (t=3.28, P=0.001) and age (t=-4.59, P<0.001), of which the determination coefficient was R 2=0.22. Medical staff should take variously effective interventions to improve the social support situation of TB patients and promote their physical and mental health development.
