NURSING CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH TUBERCULOSIS

In this thesis, nursing care for patients with tuberculosis (TB) is examined, focusing on clinical management, infection control, patient education, and psychosocial support. The study highlights the role of nurses in early detection, administration of multidrug therapy, monitoring treatment adherence, and managing side effects. Special attention is given to the care of patients with multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and the implementation of infection prevention strategies in healthcare settings. The thesis also emphasizes the importance of patient counseling, emotional support, and the integration of modern technologies, such as telemedicine and electronic health records, to improve treatment outcomes. Effective nursing interventions are essential for reducing disease transmission, enhancing patient recovery, and promoting overall public health.
