Objective This study analyzes the differences in treatment and nursing compliance between patients with pneumonia with high education and patients with ordinary education. Methods This study selected 120 patients with pneumonia admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to June 2024, and divided them into a high education group (with bachelors degree or above, 60 cases) and a general education group (with high school and below, 60 cases) according to their educational level. The treatment and nursing compliance scale was used to evaluate the compliance of the two groups of patients in drug treatment, rehabilitation exercise, health education, etc. Results The compliance of patients in the high education group was significantly higher than that in the general education group in drug treatment compliance, rehabilitation exercise compliance and health education compliance (P<0.05). The compliance scores of the high-educated group in taking medication on time, following the rehabilitation plan, and participating in health education activities were significantly higher than those of the ordinary-educated group (drug compliance: 85.3±5.2 points vs. 72.1±6.8 points; rehabilitation exercise compliance: 78.5±4.9 points vs. 65.4±5.6 points; health education compliance: 82.7±5.0 points vs. 70.3±6.2 points). Conclusion Patients with high education have higher disease cognition, stronger self-management ability, and more effective doctor-patient communication. For patients with ordinary education, health education should be strengthened to improve their disease cognition level and improve their treatment and nursing compliance.
