Data Sheet 2_Alleviating psychosocial distress in drug-resistant tuberculosis: a pre-post

A 2021 pilot study of 74 drug-resistant tuberculosis patients from Chengdu Public Health Clinical Medical Center. The dataset contains pre- and post-intervention psychological measures from a 12-week telephone-delivered motivational interviewing program. The data was uploaded by Fanghui Xie under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze changes in loneliness scores based on the UCLA Loneliness Scale results.
• Evaluate the impact of telephone therapy on anxiety levels based on Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale scores.
• Assess intervention effects on depressive symptoms based on Self-Rating Depression Scale data.
• Examine improvements in sleep quality based on Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores.
• Study correlations between psychological outcomes and medication adherence based on pill count data.

Strengths

• Includes pre- and post-intervention scores for 74 patients, enabling within-subject analysis.
• Uses validated psychological instruments (UCLA-LS, SDS, HAMA, PSQI) for outcome measurement.
• Results show statistically significant improvements in loneliness, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The single-group pre-post design, as noted in the description, limits causal inference compared to a controlled trial.
