Abstract

Objective: To analyze the tuberculosis prevention strategies for new students entering school and their potential impacts on prevention. Methods: A study was conducted on 500 new students from a high school in our district from September 2022 to June 2023. Routine management was implemented before January 2023,and the control group was included. After that, prevention strategies were implemented, and the observation group was included for comparison of the application effects between the two groups. Results: The scores for prevention and control, susceptible population, transmission routes, basic knowledge of tuberculosis, and tuberculosis treatment knowledge in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The SAS and SDS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The adoption of prevention strategies for new students entering school can effectively deepen students' understanding, alleviate negative psychological effects, disseminate knowledge about tuberculosis, and prevent tuberculosis, thus demonstrating promotional value.
