Abstract
Objective: This paper aims to explore the effect of individualized nursing intervention on patients with active
tuberculosis (ATB) and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Methods: The nursing study started in January 2020 and ended in January 2023. A total of 60 patients with ATB and LTBI were included, and they were divided into two groups according to the intervention schemes selected for control testing, each with 30 cases. The intervention program selected for group A was routine care, and for group B was individualized nursing. The proportion of adverse reactions, changes in the level of lung items, self-management outcomes and satisfaction were evaluated and compared. Results: After evaluating the proportion of adverse reactions, the total proportion of ATB and LTBI in group B was lower than that in group A (P < 0.05). Based on the evaluation and testing of the expiratory flow (EF), expiratory volume (EV), and vital capacity (VC) after the intervention, these levels in group B showed higher outcomes than those in group A (P < 0.05). The scores in terms of living habits, sleep, diet, and compliance in group B were higher than those in group A (P < 0.05). The total proportion
of the satisfaction of ATB and LTBI patients in group B was higher than that in group A (P < 0.05). Conclusion: After the intervention of individualized nursing measures in patients with ATB and LTBI, it was found that it can not only play a positive role in the prevention and control of adverse reactions, but also improve their lung function, and promote their self-management, with good satisfaction level, thus it has high research and clinical application values.
