“…Conclusively, a weak system for coordinating patient care can potentially lead to fewer patients appearing at the final evaluation. Similar challenge is also reported by Dong et al ,18 Edington and Hodkinson,19 and Maswanganyi et al 20. With change in reporting requirement by WHO, coupled with an inadequacy in programmatic efforts, the focus shifted from ‘cure’ to ‘treatment completed’, and final evaluations started to be under-rated.…”

ObjectiveWHO recommends cure of tuberculosis (TB) as the best prevention strategy; however, information about factors associated with low cure rate in patients with drug-susceptible TB is limited in Pakistan. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the factors that account for low TB cure rate.MethodologyThe present qualitative study recruited diverse informants through purposive sampling to explore low cure rate situation in Badin between March and June 2017. Data were collected from clinicians, paramedics, lab technicians, district field supervisors, patients and treatment supporters through indepth and face-to-face interviews. Interviews were conducted in local languages (Urdu and Sindhi) and transcribed into English. Coding structure was developed inductively and applied on textual data to draw output at the levels of taxonomy, themes and theory, as proposed by Bradleyet al.FindingsThirty-seven individuals consented to participate in this study and provided detailed account of the subject under enquiry. Review of interview data collected from a variety of informants resulted in the identification of four broad factors (taxonomy) that contributed to the situation of low cure rate in one of the districts implementing the public–private mix intervention. These factors were (1) health-seeking behaviour, (2) technical capacity of the healthcare provider, (3) managerial capacity of the healthcare provider, and (4) access to healthcare facility and services. Each factor is deconstructed into key dimensions (themes) that emerged from the dialogue between the interviewer and the respondents. Moreover, dimensions were exemplified through underlying concepts that correspond to theories for low cure rate.ConclusionChange in programme reporting requirement has demeaned the significance of having cure as treatment outcome. Therefore, returning the focus to achieving cure status for TB cases will be beneficial for assessing the effectiveness of TB control efforts. In parallel to the care delivery system, a mechanism for disseminating disease-related and treatment-related information should be introduced.

“…Currently, this system is considered deficient by nurses, due to the way users are conducted. 17 Another point to consider is the nurses" knowledge regarding integrating programs, services, and health professionals. A study observed that, when referral to a specialized service occurs, there are no meetings to discuss cases, opposing the TB Control Program family and community.…”

Justificativa e Objetivos: tendo em vista o papel do enfermeiro na assistência ao doente de Tuberculose (TB) na perspectiva dos aspectos derivativos da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) e sua importância no controle da doença, objetivou-se analisar a atuação deste profissional da APS nas dimensões “enfoque na família” e “orientação para a comunidade acerca da TB”. Conteúdo: revisão de literatura, realizada na Base de Dados em Enfermagem (BDENF), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) e Scopus, a partir dos artigos publicados entre 2013 e 2018. Foram encontrados 1.363 artigos. 1.347 foram excluídos por não atenderem aos critérios estabelecidos, resultando em 16 artigos, os quais foram agrupados em eixos temáticos, a saber: Organização da Rede de Atenção à Saúde para TB; O papel do enfermeiro na atenção à TB; O conhecimento dos enfermeiros acerca da TB; e Educação em saúde e as orientações para a comunidade. Conclusão: esta revisão aponta a necessidade da atuação do enfermeiro nas ações de controle da TB, principalmente na capacitação e inserção dos Agentes Comunitários da Saúde para identificação precoce dos casos de TB na comunidade, bem como viabilizar as atividades de educação em saúde para redução de estigmas e (re)construção de conceitos acerca da doença.
