The purpose of this one-group pretest-posttest experimental study was to compare the scores of the knowledge related to pulmonary tuberculosis and the average scores of pulmonary functions among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis before and after receiving a pulmonary rehabilitation program. A total of 20 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis who tested negative for sputum after the intensive treatment period were selected using purposive sampling at Hua Sai Hospital, Hua Sai District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. The data were collected between December 2022 and February 2023. The research instruments consisted of 1) The pulmonary tuberculosis rehabilitation program for 8 weeks, and 2) data collection, including questionnaires on demographic characteristics, knowledge related to tuberculosis, and pulmonary function tests. The questionnaire was reviewed by three experts, and the content validity ranged from 0.67 to 1.00. The coefficient of Kruder-Richarson-20 for knowledge related to pulmonary tuberculosis was 0.70. Pulmonary function was assessed using a Peak flow meter. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired t-test.
The results found that the subjects had significantly increased scores of the knowledge related to pulmonary tuberculosis and pulmonary function after receiving the pulmonary rehabilitation program (p-value < 0.001, p-value = 0.001, respectively). The study suggests that health professionals responsible for tuberculosis care should implement the pulmonary tuberculosis rehabilitation program to enhance and improve pulmonary function among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis who tested negative for sputum after the intensive treatment period.
