介绍社会心理流行病学的研究现状,并阐述社会心理因素对肺结核病的发现、治疗、管理和愈后的整个过程的影响。结核病人往往在出现了结核病可疑症状之后由于社会心理因素的影响不敢去就医,从而延误了病人的治疗,导致病情恶化甚至死亡。同时,社会心理因素还严重影响着病人在整个过程中的依从性,从而影响其完全治愈。社会心理流行病学的应用大大促进了结核病控制工作的发展。 This paper introduces the research status of psychosocial epidemiology, and expounds the influence of social psychological factors on the discovery, treatment, management and prognosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Tuberculosis patients are often afraid of going to hospital for medical treatment after the suspicious symptoms of TB occur due to the influence of social psychological factors, which delays the treatment of patients and leads to the deterioration or even death of the patients. At the same time, social psychological factors also seriously affect the patient’s compliance in the whole process, thus affecting its complete cure. The application of psychosocial epidemiology has greatly facilitated the development of tuberculosis control.
