Abstract
Objective: This study aims to explore the impact of personalized education on the awareness rate of protective knowledge among inpatients newly treated for pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods: 325 initial pulmonary tuberculosis inpatients admitted to our hospital between January 2018 and December 2022 were selected as the research subjects. Using the randomized controlled trial method, they were divided into an experimental group of 163 cases and a control group of 162 cases. The experimental group received personalized education, including personalized guidance on patients’ disease awareness, treatment compliance, and preventive measures. The control group received routine health education. After the experiment, the awareness rate of protective knowledge of the two groups of patients was evaluated. Results: The total awareness rate of the experimental group was 76.07%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group, which was 55.63%, and the difference was statistically significant at P < 0.05. The transmission route, suspicious symptoms, medical institutions, preferential policies, whether it can be cured, and the full awareness rate of the experimental group were all higher than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant at P < 0.05. Conclusion: Personalized education positively impacts the awareness rate of protective knowledge among inpatients newly treated for pulmonary tuberculosis. Therefore, when hospitals provide medical services for newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients, they should strengthen personalized education, improve patients’ awareness of the disease and self-protection ability, and reduce the risk of infection.
