Nursing of 100 diabetics complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis

Objective\r\nTo analyze the nursing of 100 diabetics with pulmonary tuberculosis.\r\n\r\n\r\nMethods\r\nA total of 100 diabetics complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis from January 2013 to May 2015 were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 50 cases of each group. The patients of experimental group were given intervention nursing based on psychology, exercise, diet, rational administration and discharge instruction, while the patients of control group were given routine nursing. The glycemic control and negative conversion ratio of tubercle bacillus in sputum culture were compared between two groups.\r\n\r\n\r\nResults\r\nThe rate of glycemic control in the experimental group and control group after treatment were 90% and 74% respectively (χ2=4.336, P=0.037). The negative conversion ratio of tubercle bacillus in sputum culture at 6th and 9th month in the experimental group were 82% and 90%, while they in the control group were 62% and 76% (P\u003c0.05).\r\n\r\n\r\nConclusions\r\nComprehensive intervention nursing improves the glycemic control and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in diabetics complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis.\r\n\r\n\r\nKey words: \r\nTuberculosis, pulmonary; Diabetes; Nursing
