The role of the nurse in the work of the anti-tuberculosis cabinet and the prevention of tuberculosis

Tuberculosis has always been and remains one of the socially significant diseases. The work of the anti-tuberculosis cabinet is based on close interaction between the doctor and the nurse, where the role of the nurse is very high. It is important to monitor the patient’s compliance with the rules of personal hygiene, as well as conduct sanitary and educational work. It is easier to fight the disease if the patient has full information about it. In the context of digitalization of medicine and the emergence of artificial intelligence, there are changes in the work of a nurse. Analyzes and examination data, especially X-ray data, are transmitted to the doctor’s workplace. Systems for automatic evaluation of results are being created. The duties of a nurse may change. Currently, more responsibility is assigned to conducting screening surveys of the population, their evaluation and monitoring of results, and assistance in maintaining documentation.
