Abstract
Objective To explore the influence of nursing intervention on treatment compliance in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods 90 patients were randomly assigned to receive routine anti-tuberculosis therapy alone (control group, 45 patients) or anti-tuberculosis therapy combined with nursing intervention including health education, reminding patients of taking medicines on time, psychological care, production of patient reminders, and emphasis on regular follow-up (study group, 45 patients). Survey on treatment compliance was conducted after completion of treatment. The rate of treatment compliance was compared between the two group. Results There was a significant difference in treatment compliance between the study group and the control group ( 93.3% vs. 73.33%). Conclusions Nursing intervention can increase the rate of treatment compliance and have patients recover more rapidly. Key words: Nursing intervention; Tuberculosis; Pulmonary; Compliance
