Abstract:

Tuberculosis, a chronic infectious disease, poses a serious threat to human health. China continues to be one of the countries with a heavy tuberculosis burden worldwide. Home isolation and treatment constitutes a significant approach in China’s efforts to control tuberculosis. Nevertheless, there has been relatively limited exploration regarding the nursing problems and challenges encountered during the home isolation and treatment of infectious pulmonary tuberculosis. This review comprehensively summarizes the current situation as well as the common nursing problems associated with home isolation and treatment of tuberculosis both at home and abroad. Moreover, it delves into community nursing services for pulmonary tuberculosis in light of China’s national conditions, with the aim of offering references and guidance for addressing nursing problems during the home isolation and treatment of infectious tuberculosis.

Key words: Tuberculosis, Family nursing, Patient isolation, Communicable disease control
