Objective To observe the impact of perioperative nursing intervention on pulmonary tuberculosis patients undergoing lung resection. Method Thirty-six pulmonary tuberculosis patients going to undergo lung resection hospitalized between January and December 2013 were randomly divided into intervention group and control group with 18 in each. Patients in the intervention group received routine perioperative care plus nursing intervention including preoperative, environmental, dieting and pain intervention. Then, complications, hospitalization time and costs, as well as patients' satisfaction with the nursing work were compared between the two groups. Results After nursing intervention, complications, hospitalization time, hospital costs of patients in the intervention group were significantly less than the control group (P<0.05), and patients' satisfaction was significantly higher (P<0.05). Conclusions Perioperative nursing intervention on lung resection treatment and rehabilitation of patients play an active and effective role, which can reduce complications, shorten hospitalization time, reduce hospital costs and improve patients' satisfaction.
