Abstract: Pneumoconiosis is a chronic disease characterized by diffuse fibrosis of lung tissue caused by long-term inhalation of productive dust and retention in the lungs,which has a long course,poor treatment effect,and seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients. Summarizing the common nursing measures for pneumoconiosis patients in China,it was found that different nursing methods can not only delay the progression of the disease,but also improve the quality of life. The current situation of pneumoconiosis prevention and treatment in China has been significantly improved,such as the high attention of government departments,continuous improvement of laws and regulations,and gradual enhancement of supervision and protection efforts. The various actors involved in the prevention and treatment of pneumoconiosis are becoming more diverse,and the prevention and treatment of pneumoconiosis is now gradually shifting towards a multi-perspective,multi-actor collaborative management. This article reviews the nursing measures and prevention and treatment status of pneumoconiosis,proposes work suggestions,in order to provide reference for occupational health management and prevention and treatment work.
