Abstract

Background: Nowadays establishing communication and educating Patients to enhance their Knowledge regarding disease and treatment process at home is one of the most important principles in providing patient care. Materials and Methods: A semi-experimental study was done on 57 Patients with active pulmonary Tuberculosis in two care groups namely professional – family mix directly observed treatment short-course (PFM-DOTS) and family based-DOTS (FB-DOTS). The Patients were referred to the Tuberculosis and lung diseases research center for diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary Tuberculosis. Both the patient and a family supervisor were evaluated regarding their level of Knowledge of the disease and the treatment regimen. Results: A significant difference between the degree of Knowledge of groups of Patients and the groups of family relatives before and after the intervention was indicated, with a higher increase in PFM-DOTS group than in F-B-DOTS group (P< 0. 001). In PFM-DOTS group 100% of the Patients, and in the FB-DOTS group 86. 8% of the Patients followed the recommended drug regimen (P<0. 001). Conclusion: According to the treatment recommendations by the World Health Organization (WHO) for appropriate implementation of DOTS project combating TB, it seems the PFM-DOTS implementation is a more suitable method with greater effects on correct care and treatment of Tuberculosis Patients.
