Observation on Application of Characteristic Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing under the Concept of"Preventive Treatment of Disease"in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Its Impact on the Prognosis
Objective:To observe the application of characteristic traditional Chinese medicine nursing under the concept of"preventive treatment of disease"in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and its impact on the prognosis.Method:A total of 82 pulmonary tuberculosis patients who were treated in the Fifth People's Hospital of Ganzhou from February 2022 to March 2023 were selected,and divided into the control group(n=40)and the traditional Chinese medicine group(n=42)using coin flipping.The control group received routine nursing intervention,while the traditional Chinese medicine group received characteristic traditional Chinese medicine nursing under the concept of"preventive treatment of disease".Pulmonary function,self-care ability,emotions and prognosis(sputum negative conversion rate and incidence of complications)of the two groups were compared.Result:After 6 months of intervention,peak expiratory flow(PEF),forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1)and forced vital capacity(FVC)in both groups increased compared to those before intervention,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After 6 months of intervention,the scores for self-care skills,sense of responsibility,self-concept and health cognition in the traditional Chinese medicine group were significantly higher than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After 6 months of intervention,the scores on the self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)and self-rating depression scale(SDS)in both groups decreased compared to those before intervention,and the scores of the traditional Chinese Medicine group were significantly lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in sputum negative conversion rate between the two groups(P>0.05).The incidence of complications was lower in the traditional Chinese medicine group than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Applying characteristic traditional Chinese medicine nursing under the concept of"preventive treatment of disease"in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis can effectively improve their pulmonary function,enhance self-care ability,improve negative emotions and prognosis.
