“…Uplekar et al found that in the Pune city, 60% of individuals with chest symptoms first approached a private provider and in another study by the same author, it was found to be 86%. 14,15 Present finding is consistent with other studies by Kelkar-Khambete A et al at Pune 83% and Nair N et al in the SEAR 60-70% and Rintiswati N et al [16][17][18] However, studies from South Sudan and Hong Kong reported lower figures of 17% and 42.6% respectively. Accessibility was found to be the main reason for approaching the health facility.…”

“…The performance of the health services regarding dialogue with the families of TB patients about the disease and treatment was unsatisfactory for the study subjects, which corroborates the results of investigations carried out in São José do Rio Preto-SP (8) and Jogjakarta, Indonesia (19) . Consequently, health professionals should acknowledge the role of the families in relation to the sick family member.…”

“…It is important to use accessible language to thoroughly explain the types and effects of drugs, the duration, benefits and adverse reactions of treatment, and the consequences of abandoning treatment (16) . As found in this study, other investigations revealed that patients must distance themselves from their family members when eating, sleeping or cooking to prevent transmission (19)(20) . This distancing makes patients less prone to share their problems and concerns with family members and less motivated to continue the treatment (14) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar, sob a perspectiva dos usuários, o desempenho dos serviços de saúde no controle da tuberculose em relação ao enfoque na família. Métodos Estudo descritivo, quanti-qualitativo com 89 pacientes que realizavam o tratamento de tuberculose no âmbito da 15ª Regional de Saúde do Paraná. Os dados foram coletados entre abril e junho de 2012 por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os dados quantitativos foram submetidos à análise de variância ou ao teste de Kruskall-Wallis, e os dados qualitativos, à análise de conteúdo. Resultados Os dados quantitativos mostraram que as Unidades Básicas de Saúde apresentaram melhor desempenho em relação aos indicadores: conhecimento pelos profissionais de saúde das pessoas que moram com o usuário (p=0,1340) e avaliação dos familiares com exames específicos (p=0,1430), enquanto os ambulatórios de referência foram melhor avaliados quanto ao diálogo com os familiares sobre tuberculose (p=0,5203) e o seu tratamento (p=0,4788). Da análise dos dados qualitativos emergiram duas categorias: envolvimento da família no tratamento da tuberculose e desconexão do serviço de saúde com a família do doente com tuberculose. Conclusões Considera-se que a equipe de saúde deve oferecer suporte e orientações às famílias, pois elas são fonte de cuidado e apoio às pessoas em tratamento de tuberculose.

“…TB sufferers who had been receiving care at healthcare facilities showed inactive TB bacilli that would not lead to transmission (negative MTB bacilli status) after two weeks' treatment of active TB bacilli (positive MTB bacilli status) (4,5). Yet this TB condition, also known as TB conversion, was rarely being evaluated (6)(7)(8)(9).…”

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) conversion is a vital milestone that remains rarely assessed in TB mitigation programs. Objectives: This study aimed to explain the effects of body mass index (BMI) and housing index status on TB conversion in a developing country. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 51 TB patients in the three health centres (Puskesmas) with the highest TB incidences in Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, using data reported in the the first quarterly report of 2008. We used bivariate association with Fisher's exact test to review TB conversion determinants. Results: The results indicated that TB occurred predominantly in men (51%) and people over 40 years old (74,5%). Factors indicating that TB conversion is associated with both adequate nutrition and housing in TB patients approached significance (RP = 1.0 and p = 0.05). Conclusions: However, housing and nutrition status are rarely considered as determinants of TB conversion in the assessment of TB outcomes. We suggest increasing sample distribution and introducing other factors related to healthcare as supply variables for further study.
