Pages

  0-0

Abstract

 Background: Despite effective diagnosis and TREATMENT, prevalence of TUBERCULOSIS (TB) is still growing. The directly observed TREATMENT, short-course (DOTS) strategy to treat TB was introduced by the World Health Organization more than a decade ago. Little is known about patients’ experience of TB TREATMENT, according to DOTS, in IRAN.Objectives: This study aimed to understand the patients’ experience of TUBERCULOSIS TREATMENT according to DOTS in IRAN.Patients and Methods: This study is a qualitative study, using content analysis to examine patients’ experience of TB TREATMENT and to understand their compliance during DOTS. In this study, a semi-structured interview with open questions was answered by 40 patients, who had a diagnosis of pulmonary and extrapulmonary TUBERCULOSIS, and improved during the course of their TREATMENT. The method of sampling was purposive sample and the interview process lasted until data saturation.Results: Data analysis resulted in the extraction of six themes, which reflect the experiences of the study participants. The themes are: 1) individual factors; 2) change of the attitudes and beliefs of patients on TB TREATMENT; 3) support terms of patients with TUBERCULOSIS; 4) the role of health care professionals; 5) social factors and 6) the financial burden.Conclusions: Successful completion of TB TREATMENT requires an effective partnership between the patient and health care professionals, and a harmony between the cultural context, attitude of the patient, family support and health literacy. Future health policies should address these issues to improve patients’ adherence to DOTS.
