Abstract：Objective To explore the application effect of feedback-based health education model in respiratory function training for elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods A total of 80 elderly patients with pulmo‐nary tuberculosis treated at the Third People's Hospital of Yangzhou from June 2024 to November 2024 were selected as the research subjects.The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 40 cases in each group,using a random number table method.The control group patients were treated with conventional health educa‐tion,while the observation group patients were treated with a feedback-based health education model in addition to the con‐ventional approach.On the day before or the day of discharge,the accuracy of respiratory function training was compared between the two groups.Additionally,respiratory function training compliance,quality of life,and lung function were compared between the two groups before and three months after the intervention.Results After intervention,the accura‐cy and compliance of respiratory function training in the observation group were better than those in the control group(all P<0.05);the scores and total scores of each dimension(clinical symptoms,activity ability,disease impact)of the St.George's Respiratory Questionnaire(SGRQ)for evaluating quality of life in the observation group were lower than those of the control group(all P<0.05);the forced vital capacity(FVC),forced expiratory volume at the end of one second(FEV1),and FEV1/FVC ratio in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05).Conclu-sion The application of feedback-based health education model in respiratory function training of elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis can improve their mastery of respiratory function training methods and compliance,thereby improv‐ing their quality of life and lung function.
