Abstract:
Objective To understand the quality of life in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis within three years after treatment， determine its related factors， and make suggestions for improving the short-term quality of life in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis after treatment. Methods A telephone survey was used to investigate registered tuberculosis patients in Shanghai in 2018 using the short form 12 （SF-12） and the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD） assessment test questionnaire （CAT）. Results A total of 975 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis who had completed the treatment were included in the study. The total physiological score was determined to be 49.18±10.25， and the total psychological score was 50.27±8.03 （t=5.62，P<0.000 1）. The average CAT score was 13.31±6.08. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that quality of life was positively associated with high educational level， high monthly family income， and frequent physical exercise， whereas negatively associated with comorbidities， low self-care ability， and changing jobs. Conclusion We should pay more attention to the patients with pulmonary tuberculosis coexistent with COPD and other lung diseases. Measures should be implemented for the improvement in the quality of life， including providing financial support， encouraging regular exercise， and improving lung function.
