Abstract

According to reports, Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects 8-10 millions people worldwide annually and causes 2-3 millions deaths each year. This study compares the AWARENESS, ATTITUDE and performance (AAP) of general population of Ardabil district and patients suffering from SMEAR POSITIVE lung tuberculosis. 500 inhabitants of Ardabil district and 34 SMEAR POSITIVE patients were selected and studied by using q uestionaire. The degree of AWARENESS of the participants the nature of the disease and ways of PREVENTION and CONTROLling it were determined.By doing Hoteling T2 test a statistically significant difference was seen between the above variables among healthy individuals and patients (p<0.05). The ATTITUDEs of people, both healthy and patients, about the nature of the disease and its PREVENTION and CONTROL was positive and declared that tuberculosis was preventable. Only a few percent of individuals considered that the disease was dangerous and incurable. T test did not show difference between the ATTITUDEs of healthy and ill individuals (p<0.05). The degree of the PRACTICE of the individuals in PREVENTION and CONTROLling the disease was good and moderate and none of the samples had poor PRACTICE about the disease CONTROL (5.8% of healthy and zero percent of patients had poor performance.) T2 Hoteling test indicated a significant difference between the healthy and patients about the nature of the disease and PREVENTION and CONTROL. This study did not show any meaningful relationship between variables such as age, gender and job, and the knowledge and PRACTICE of the samples about the tuberculosis PREVENTION and CONTROL among healthy and unhealthy individuals (Doing X2 test with a p value of more than 0.05). Performing a X2 test showed a meaningful statistical relationship between the level of education of the healthy individuals, and their AAP (p<0.05). Among the patients, however, there was no meaningful statistical relationship in this regard.This study only shows the poor performance of the healthy individuals in tuberculosis CONTROL and therefore besides putting emphasis on the improvement of performances of people through education, it is also necessary to seek the causes of the disease's high prevalance in relation to others, such as poverty malnutrition population density, etc., and take the necessary actions in this regard.
