Abstract:

Objective To investigate the awareness of key information of tuberculosis prevention and control among drug-resistant tuberculosis patients, and to provide direction and basis for more effective health education on drug-resistant tuberculosis prevention and control.Methods Two hundred and ninety-three drug-resistant tuberculosis patients from 20 hospitals and tuberculosis prevention and control institutions from March 2013 to January 2014 were investigated by a unified questionnaire. The investigation included basic information of patients, knowledge of key information of tuberculosis prevention and treatment, and clinical reports of patients. Two hundred and ninety-three questionnaires were sent out, and 293 were effective, with an effective rate of 100.0%, 223 (76.1%) patients reported to know the key information of tuberculosis, and further investigation on the awareness of key information of tuberculosis prevention and control was carried out in this group of patients. Statistical analysis was conducted on the general situation of the respondents and the awareness of key information of tuberculosis prevention and control, and further logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of awareness rate.Results 76.1% (223/293) of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients reported knowing about tuberculosis, while 23.9% (70/293) reported not knowing about tuberculosis. The overall awareness rate of 11 key information of tuberculosis prevention and control was 70.1% (1720/2453). The univariate analysis of tuberculosis knowledge awareness rate showed that the awareness rate of drug resistant patients did not drink or occasionally drink (70.3%, 1648/2343), with tuberculosis history (72.8%, 905/1243), with tuberculosis treatment (72.6%, 878/1210) and with tuberculosis course for one year or more (72.6%, 895/1232) had higher awareness rate, than those usually drunk (54.5%, 60/110) (χ 2=12.61, P=0.002), no history of tuberculosis (66.4%, 803/1210) (χ 2=12.04, P<0.001), no tuberculosis treatment (66.8%, 830/1243) (χ 2=9.88, P=0.007) and with tuberculosis course less than one year (66.6%, 813/1221) (χ 2=10.68, P=0.005). Multivariate analysis showed that the awareness rate was 1.97 times higher in patients who did not drink than those regular drinking patients (95%CI: 1.33-2.92, P=0.001), and patients with tuberculosis history were 1.36 times more likely to be aware of the knowledge of tuberculosis (95%CI: 1.14-1.61, P=0.001).Conclusion The overall awareness rate of tuberculosis prevention and control knowledge of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients is not high. It is necessary to carry out health promotion and education activities in drug-resistant tuberculosis patients such as usually drinking, no tuberculosis history, no tuberculosis treatment history, tuberculosis course less than one year, so as to improve the awareness rate of tuberculosis prevention and control.
