abstract: 'Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) represents a threat to health
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and development in countries with high TB burden. China''s MDR-TB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
prevalence rate of 6.8\% is the highest in the world. Interventions to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
remove barriers against effective TB control, and prevention of MDR-TB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
are urgently needed in the country. This paper reports a cross-sectional
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
questionnaire survey of 513 pulmonary TB (PTB) patients, and qualitative
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
interviews of 10 healthcare workers (HCWs), and 15 PTB patients. The
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
objective was to assess barriers against effective control of PTB and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
prevention of MDR-TB by elucidating the perspectives of patients and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
healthcare providers. Results showed that more than half of the patients
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
experienced patient delay of over 12.5 days. A similar proportion also
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
experienced detection delay of over 30 days, and delay in initiating
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
treatment of over 31 days. Consulting a non-TB health facility >= 3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
times before seeking care at TB dispensary was a risk factor for both
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
detection delay {[}AOR (95\% CI): 1.89(1.07, 3.34) and delay in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
initiating treatment{[}AOR (95\% CI): 1.88 (1.06, 3.36). Results
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
revealed poor implementation of Directly Observed Therapy (DOT), whereby
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
treatment of 34.3\% patients was never monitored by HCWs. Only 31.8\%
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
patients had ever accessed TB health education before their TB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
diagnosis. Qualitative data consistently disclosed long patient delay,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and indicated that patient''s poor TB knowledge and socioeconomic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
barriers were primary reasons for patient delay. Seeking care and being
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
treated at a non-TB hospital was an important reason for detection
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
delay. Patient''s long work hours and low income increased risk for
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
treatment non-adherence. Evidence-based measures to improve TB health
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
seeking behavior, reduce patient and detection delays, improve the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
quality of DOT, address financial and system barriers, and increase
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
access to TB health promotion are urgently needed to address the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
burgeoning prevalence of MDR-TB in China.'
