Objective: To study and analyze the experience of carrying out diversified digital health education for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods: A total of 7 cases of tuberculosis and 200 cases of contact teachers and students confirmed by physical screening in our school from January 2021 to December 2021 were included as the research objective. They were divided into the study group and the control group by random number table method. The study group included 4 cases of tuberculosis and 100 cases of contact personnel (104 cases in total).The control group included 3 cases of tuberculosis and 100 cases of contact personnel (a total of 103 cases). The control group carried out routine health education, while the study group carried out diversified digital health education. Before and after the health education, the cognitive level, negative psychological status, prevention and treatment behavior of tuberculosis were evaluated and compared between the two groups. Results: After health education, the scores of tuberculosis related cognition level of patients (contact personnel) in the study group were higher than those in the control group, the scores of negative psychological status of HAMA and HAMD scale were lower than those in the control group, and the scores of all aspects of tuberculosis prevention and control behavior were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Compared with conventional health education, diversified digital health education for tuberculosis patients has outstanding value in improving the level of tuberculosis related cognition, prevention and treatment behavior, and negative psychological status.
