Abstract

Background: This study compared the Quality of Life (QoL) between new and recurrent pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients, a crucial indicator for those undergoing treatment.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted at eight community health centres in Garut, West Java, Indonesia. Convenience sampling was used to recruit patients aged >15 years with new or recurrent pulmonary TB. QoL was assessed using the WHOQOL tool. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test.

Results: 54 new and 60 recurrent pulmonary TB patients participated. Recurrent TB patients Mean(SD) scored significantly higher in the psychological domain 58.30 (10.63) compared to new TB patients 53.70 (10.31) (p < 0.05, t-test: -2.34).

Conclusions: New pulmonary TB patients experience greater psychological burden, highlighting the need for targeted psychological support to improve their overall QoL.
