护士在以患者为中心的结核病照护中的角色

The role of nurse in patient-centered tuberculosis care

护士是全球医疗保健服务的重要提供者,同样,也是结核病患者的主要照护者。尽管结核病病死率在过去24年有所下降,但是每年仍有超过150万患者死于结核。结核病是全球传染性疾病导致的第二位死因,在某些地区甚至成为首位死因。世界卫生组织(WHO)刚刚发布了新的20年抗击结核战略规划,即"终止结核策略(2016-2035)",该策略包含三个主要支柱,即以患者为中心的照护和预防;强有力的政策和支持系统;加强研究与创新。根据WHO"终止结核策略",护士在未来20年的结核控制中将发挥重要的作用。通过提供并倡导以患者为中心的护理能够对全球结核控制产生很大影响。

Globally, nurses make up the largest cadre of health care providers and provide the majority of care to patients with tuberculosis（TB）. While TB mortality has decreased over the past 24 years, more than 1.5 million patients die from TB each year. TB is the second leading cause of death due to a communicable disease worldwide and in some areas is the leading cause of death. The WHO has just launched a new 20-year strategy to fight TB called the End TB Strategy（2016-2035） with three main pillars： integrated, patient-centered care and prevention; bold policies and supportive systems; and intensified research and innovation. We as nurses have a very important role to play in the next 20 years of TB control according to the WHO End TB strategy. Nurses can have a great impact on global TB control by providing and advocating for patient-centered care in our settings.
