Más datosPatients with multi-drug resistance tuberculosis might experience differently during the treatment than those without tuberculosis. This study aims to explore the experience of multi-drug resistance tuberculosis patients during the treatment period.
MethodsSix patients undergoing multi-drug resistance tuberculosis treatment were recruited as participants. This qualitative-phenomenological study uses an in-depth interview method and is completed with field notes. Data were analyzed using steps according to Colaizzi.
ResultThe study identified five themes related to the patients’ experience and behavior for the therapy, including the patient perceptions about the illness, perceived obstacles, factors that support adherence in treatment, hopes to achieve healing, and health promotion behavior.
DiscussionMany factors influence long-term treatment adherence. It is recommended to support patients with MDR TB who have been in care for a long time; policymakers and health practices must respect that condition of MDR-TB affects the psychosocial life of sufferers.
