Abstract

Background: The Tuberculosis (TB) disease has immense impact on physical, psychological, economic and social well-being of an individual. It is desired that the patient with any kind of TB disease should lead a respectable and happier life during their course of TB treatment. Currently, the quality of life (QOL) is an important indicator to assess the well-being of a person and there is paucity of such information among TB patients. Hence, we conducted to assess and compare the QOL of Revised National TB Control Programme registered Drug sensitive TB patients, Drug resistant TB patients and general population of Gadag district in Karnataka, India. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Gadag district, Karnataka from March 2017 through March 2018 among drug sensitive, drug resistant TB patients and general population. A Non-probability purposive sampling was adopted to select the samples that were matched for age, gender and ward. The select patients were administered WHO QOL-BREF questionnaire by trained personnel. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 12 analysis software. Results: The scores obtained for the four domains of QOL were (a) physical health: 69.62 + 18.29 (b) Psychological: 66.96 + 18.62 (c) Environment: 60.99 + 15.05 and (d) Social relationships: 53.5 + 19.93. Conclusions: The drug resistant TB patients have poor QOL when compared to drug sensitive and general population.

解读印度卡纳塔克邦RNTCP下结核病患者的生活质量

背景：结核病对个人的身体、心理、经济和社会健康有着巨大的影响。希望任何类型的结核病患者在结核病治疗过程中都能过上体面、幸福的生活。目前，生活质量（QOL）是评估一个人幸福感的重要指标，而结核病患者中缺乏此类信息。因此，我们对印度卡纳塔克邦Gadag区经修订的国家结核病控制计划登记的药物敏感结核病患者、耐药性结核病患者和普通人群的生活质量进行了评估和比较。方法：2017年3月至2018年3月，在卡纳塔克邦加达格区对药物敏感、耐药结核病患者和普通人群进行了横断面研究。采用非概率目的性抽样，选择年龄、性别和病房匹配的样本。选择的患者由经过培训的人员进行世界卫生组织QOL-BREF问卷调查。使用SPSS 12版分析软件对数据进行分析。结果：生活质量四个领域的得分分别为：（a）身体健康：69.62+18.29；（b）心理：66.96+18.62；（c）环境：60.99+15.05；（d）社会关系：53.5+19.93。结论：与药物敏感人群和普通人群相比，耐药结核病患者的生活质量较差。
