“…Considering the higher prevalence of TB in South Korea, clinicians should be careful to avoid cognitive bias and always consider the possibility of TB. The South Korean government promotes campaigns for TB prevention through media to teach proper coughing etiquette, and encourages physicians to check screening tests if a cough lasts for more than 2 weeks [ 24 , 25 ].…”

Delayed isolation of tuberculosis (TB) can cause unexpected exposure of healthcare workers (HCWs). This study identified the predictive factors and clinical impact of delayed isolation. We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of index patients and HCWs who underwent contact investigation after TB exposure during hospitalization at the National Medical Center, between January 2018 and July 2021. Among the 25 index patients, 23 (92.0%) were diagnosed with TB based on the molecular assay, and 18 (72.0%) had a negative acid-fast bacilli smear. Sixteen (64.0%) patients were hospitalized via the emergency room, and 18 (72.0%) were admitted to a non-pulmonology/infectious disease department. According to the patterns of delayed isolation, patients were classified into five categories. Among 157 close-contact events in 125 HCWs, 75 (47.8%) occurred in Category A. Twenty-five (20%) HCWs had multiple TB exposures (n = 57 events), of whom 37 (64.9%) belonged to Category A (missed during emergency situations). After contact tracing, latent TB infection was diagnosed in one (1.2%) HCW in Category A, who was exposed during intubation. Delayed isolation and TB exposure mostly occurred during pre-admission in emergency situations. Effective TB screening and infection control are necessary to protect HCWs, especially those who routinely contact new patients in high-risk departments.

Objective: To investigate association of education, wealth index and access to electronic media with awareness about TB and its spread among women. Material and Methods:Countrywide Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS) 2012-13 data was selected for secondary analysis. From 12,943 occupied households, 13,558 ever-married women and 3,134 ever married men age 15-49 were interviewed. For this study, women interviews record was selected and analysed for TB awareness and its relationship with education attainment, wealth index and electronic media exposure. SPSS logistic regression analyses were performed for statistical significance and to discover association between TB awareness and education attainment, wealth index and electronic media. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results:The poorest uneducated women had the lowest awareness about TB and its spread by air. Awareness about TB and its spread by coughing and sneezing increased with increase in education level and households' wealth and living standard.Women from households having radio, in rural areas, had overall more awareness about TB and its spread by coughing and sneezing than women from households having no radio. Women of households having TV, in all regions of the country, had distinctly higher awareness about TB spread by air than women of households who had no TV. Interestingly, there was more awareness among women of households having no radio and TV about TB spread by sharing utensils, touching person and sexual contact than women of households having radio and TV.Education attainment and TV in households were more statistical significant than radio in households and wealth index. Education, wealth index and TV in households have relationship with TB spread by coughing and sneezing. Conclusion:Awareness about tuberculosis and its spread by air among women was associated with increase in wealth, education level and exposure to electronic media. Use of electronic media would be helpful in creating awareness, in minimal time, about all aspects of tuberculosis.

Objetivo: conhecer as tendências da produção de dissertações e teses acerca das tecnologias educacionais (TE) sobre tuberculose. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo de revisão bibliográfica da literatura, do tipo narrativa. Para a obtenção das publicações, realizou-se uma busca eletrônica de documentos no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior e na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, nos meses de janeiro e fevereiro de 2023. Resultados: a amostra final foi composta por 15 estudos. Desses, dez apresentaram TE destinadas para o público-alvo de profissionais da saúde e cinco desenvolveram TE ao público de usuários da saúde. Os conteúdos instrucionais abordados foram quanto a aspectos gerais sobre a doença, conceitos, epidemiologia, fatores de risco, diagnóstico, tratamento, prevenção, busca ativa, dentre outros. Considerações Finais: este estudo possibilitou conhecer e fornecer uma síntese da produção de dissertações e teses brasileiras acerca das tecnologias educacionais sobre TB. Os resultados fornecem contribuições tanto para a enfermagem como para as demais áreas da saúde e o subsídio para a utilização de ferramentas educativas, ao prover o conhecimento de TE já desenvolvidas, passíveis de serem adaptadas e aplicadas nos diversos contextos de saúde.
