A study was carried out to define the level of health knowledge and education of 756 healthy people and 189 patients with active tuberculosis. The study revealed an insufficient awareness of both the healthy subjects and patients in such aspects, as nature of tuberculosis infection, ways of its transmission, preventive measures, early detection of the disease and its curing opportunities. Systematic discussions with the persons interviewed and individual contacts with the patients allowed one to increase their knowledge of tuberculosis, influenced their discipline and made them active aids to the attending doctors.
一项研究针对756名健康人和189名活动性肺结核患者开展，以确定他们的健康知识水平和受教育程度。研究发现，健康受试者和患者在诸如结核感染的性质、传播途径、预防措施、疾病的早期发现及其治愈机会等方面的认知都不足。与受访者进行系统性讨论以及与患者进行个别接触，能增加他们对结核病的了解，影响他们的行为规范，并使他们成为主治医生的积极帮手。
