Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing intervention based on the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) integrated with the Health Belief Model (HBM) in patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and coexisting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: This retrospective study included 146 patients diagnosed with both PTB and COPD who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University between April 1, 2021, and March 31, 2023. Of these, 73 patients admitted from April 2021 to March 2022 received routine nursing care (control group), while the remaining 73 patients admitted from April 2022 to March 2023 received a nursing intervention based on the integrated TTM-HBM model (intervention group). Outcomes were assessed three months after discharge, including pulmonary function parameters, self-management ability, medication adherence, and quality of life. Results: At the three-month post-discharge follow-up, patients in the intervention group exhibited significantly greater improvements across all outcome measures compared with those in the control group. Pulmonary function parameters were markedly better in the intervention group, including forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1: (1.99±0.19) L vs. (1.67±0.15) L; t=-11.186, P<0.01), forced vital capacity (FVC: (2.81±0.21) L vs. (2.56±0.18) L; t=-7.792, P<0.01), and the FEV1/FVC ratio (0.71±0.04 vs. 0.65±0.03; t=-9.311, P<0.01). Similarly, the intervention group scored significantly higher in self-management ability (6.03±1.22 vs. 4.56±1.35; t=-6.858, P<0.01), medication adherence (6.99±0.87 vs. 5.29±1.11; t=-10.188, P<0.01), and quality of life (73.68±10.99 vs. 66.08±8.66; t=-4.639, P<0.01). Conclusion: A nursing intervention grounded in the integrated TTM and HBM yields significant clinical benefits for patients with PTB and coexisting COPD. This approach not only enhances pulmonary function but also improves patients’ self-management abilities and medication adherence, ultimately contributing to sustained improvements in quality of life.
