This paper aims to analyze nurses' role in tuberculosis control from the perspective of equity in the context of Latin American countries. Tuberculosis is frequently associated with poverty, but many other determinants play an important role in its prevalence. Latin American countries fight against the presence of this illness and nursing professionals play a protagonist role in TB control, proposing comprehensive interventions in different spheres -individuals, families and society. The focus of nursing intervention ranges from public policy proposals, based on epidemiological research, through the establishment of multi-sector programs, to direct care and client education at the operative level. Different professional nursing institutions can play a decisive role in this problem' integral approach, both in national and international scopes. This requires the establishment of educative, social, technical and politically integrated support networks. O papel da enfermagem no controle da tuberculose: uma discussão sob a perspectiva da equidade O objetivo do presente artigo foi analisar o papel do profissional da enfermagem no controle da tuberculose, sob a perspectiva da equidade, no âmbito dos países da América Latina. A tuberculose está frequentemente associada à pobreza, mas muitos outros determinantes contribuem de modo importante para sua prevalência. Os países sulamericanos lutam contra essa enfermidade e a enfermagem possui papel de protagonista no controle desse problema, reivindicando intervenções integrais, voltadas para as diferentes esferas: individual, familiar e social. A intervenção da enfermagem é enfocada desde o desenho das políticas públicas, com base em estudos epidemiológicos, mediante a implementação de programas multissetoriais, até a assistência direta e a educação dos usuários no plano operativo. Diferentes instituições profissionais da enfermagem podem desenvolver atuação decisiva para a abordagem integral do problema, no âmbito nacional e internacional, devendo, para isso, estabelecer redes de apoio integradas às dimensões educativas, social, técnica e política.Descritores: Tuberculose; Inequidade Social; Enfermagem.El rol de la enfermería em el control de la tuberculosis: uma discusión desde la perspectiva de la equidad El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar el rol de la enfermera en el control de la tuberculosis desde la perspectiva de la equidad, en el ámbito de los países latinoamericanos.

“…The DOT should be seen by health professionals as a moment that makes health facilities a place of hosting for the patient. It should permit the creation of bonds, where the patient would feel welcomed and would find a space for solution of doubts and share their needs during the therapeutic process [31].…”

Introduction: One of the issues considered today as an obstacle for the control of tuberculosis in the world scenario, regards the nonadherence of the patient for the treatment of the disease, resulting in complications to the health of the individual and negative implications for public health. Objective: To analyze the speeches of nurses working in the Family Health Strategy, about the difficulties in adherence to Directly Observed Treatment (DOT) of tuberculosis in the city of João Pessoa, state of Paraiba, Brazil. Method: Qualitative study and discursive approach, developed in August and October 2012. Through the technique of interview guided by a semi driven script, thirteen nurses working in the Family Health Strategy were interviewed in the city of João Pessoa, state of Paraiba, Brazil. The empirical material produced was analyzed according to the theoretical and methodological device of Discourse Analysis of pecheutiana French line. Results: The discursive analysis made from the textual marks present in the speeches of enunciators indicates that the difficulties in joining the directly observed treatment of tuberculosis in the city of João Pessoa, bind to patients, health professionals and treatment. In relation to the patient, the analysis points to discursive formations linked to the stigma, commitment in the treatment and low level of education. As for healthcare professionals, fear of contagion of the disease-reinforced by the stigma-and the transfer of responsibility in caring to other professionals were observed. Notably, the spoken relapse, in

“…In this way, it is important to highlight the study conducted by Queiroz et al 42 and Terra et al 43 on the identification of problems related to therapeutic adherence and TB control, in which they highlighted that issues related to the qualification of the teams need to reach a greater discussion and execution, since most of the professionals who work in primary care have already experienced the training process centered on the curativist model and not on health promotion.…”
