“…The data was based on comparative studies of TB population from China , two from Malaysia [18,23], five from India [14,15,29,[35][36][37][38], four from Canada [5,24,25,30] one form each UK [17] Pakistan [35], Spain [36] Taiwan [28] South Africa [37] and Turkey [39]. Among the selected articles fourteen studies were cross sectional [5,14,26,27,30,33,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40] and sixteen were prospective cohort based studies [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]29,31,32,41].

“…Generic instrument measures were used in 10 studies with different language versions of SF-36 [5,[16][17][18][19][20]24,25,38,40,41]. SF-36 is a generic health outcomes measure consisting of 36 items aggregated into eight sub-scales of PF (physical functioning), RP (role physical), BP (body pain), GH (general health), VT (vitality), SF (social functioning), RE (role emotion) and MH (mental health) [43].…”

“…11,15,17,20,[24][25][26] Out of these, only two studies were conducted in Asia 20,24 one used a DR-12 questionnaire and the other used a modified version of the SF-36 health survey to quantify HRQoL in TB patients. These findings highlighted the existence of a gap in literature with regard to a follow-up study using a validated tool to gauge the impact of TB treatment on HRQoL of smear positive PTB patients.…”

“…Considering the fact that improvement in HRQoL is an important factor for better response to treatment among TB patients, which may lead to better outcome in patients health. 15 Measurement of the HRQoL adds a new dimension to the evaluation of TB programmes. With the development of effective treatment strategies where mortality is likely to be minimal, the focus of TB management has shifted to the reduction of illness-related morbidity.…”

Background: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity around the world, infecting approximately 8 billion people, with an annual death rate of close to 1 million. The present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of tuberculosis treatment on health related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with active and inactive tuberculosis by evolving HRQoL questionnaire (SF-36v2). Methodology: A prospective follow-up study was conducted for total 70 patients (56 men and 14 women) diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) in Navodaya Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Raichur for a period of 6 months. The HRQoL of TB patients was assessed in three phases: at the onset of treatment, at one month (middle of intensive phase) and two months (end of intensive phase), after the initiation of anti-tuberculosis therapy. Results: A total of 70 patients completed the SF-36v2 questionnaire at the start of their treatment. Out of these, 53 and 41 completed the questionnaire at the second and third follow-ups, respectively. The mean physical component summary (PCS) scores at the start of the treatment, after one month and at the intensive phase were 42.09 ± 16.77, 53.89 ± 13.64 and 65.24 ± 12.86, respectively. Similarly, the mean mental component summary (MCS) scores at the start of the treatment, after one month and at the intensive phase were 43 ± 17.07, 52.19 ± 14.12 and 62.17 ± 15.12, respectively. Conclusion: The HRQoL improved with the treatment, the scores on component summary measures revealed the improvement of both physical and mental health among study patients at the end of intensive phase.

Objectives: Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most substantial infectious causes of death in the world. Studies focusing on the quality of life (QOL) among TB patients are limited and the effect of counselling on patients QOL has not been well-studied. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of patient counselling on QOL among patients with Tuberculosis. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted over 6 months at a tertiary care hospital after permission from the Institutional Ethics Committee. Tuberculosis patients between 18 and 65 years and were taking anti-tubercular therapy were included. Their physical component scoring (PCS) and mental component scoring (MCS) were assessed using SF-12®questionnaire. Counselling was provided to all the patients and PCS and MCS were assessed again after 14 days. Results: A total of 109 patients were taken for the study. There was an improvement in physical and mental status of TB patients. Conclusion: Improved physical and mental status implies the positive impact of patient counselling.
