Factors Influencing Self-care in Tuberculosis Patients

Abstract: The study was done to identify factors influencing self-care in tuberculosis (here in after TB) patients. Data were collected by questionnaires from 216 TB chemotherapy as outpatients by visiting a "M" TB hospital located in the C city. Measures were self-care, health-belief(susceptibility and severity, benefit, barrier), and family support.

“…No previous study has investigated the self-management behaviors and its related factors in TB patients. The previous study used a correlation method between TB self-care and related factors and revealed factors, including gender, marital status, family structure, family support, income, and knowledge affect self-care of TB patients (19,31) In this study, there was significant direct and indirect relationship between knowledge and selfmanagement so that, as the individual's knowledge increases, his level of self-management also enhances which is consistent with other studies in chronic disease self-management (24,32). The DOTS Strategy that is done in health centers has been considered as a basic and effective factor in developing countries for better treatment and adherence of aTB control program (8).…”

“…We measured treatment adherence with the 18‐item Treatment Compliance Scale (TCS) (α = 0.92) developed for use in Korean TB patients (Cho & Kwon, ; Choi, ). The TCS uses a 5‐point Likert scale (none of the time–all the time) and scores range from 18 to 90 with higher scores reflecting higher treatment adherence (Cronbach's α 0.91, 0.90, and 0.74 at the measurement points in this study).…”
