Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to systematically identify the impact of food provision on adherence to tuberculosis treatment. Methods: A systemic search of published studies was conducted using major widely used electronic databases using the search terms ‘food provision’, ‘adherence impact’ and ‘tuberculosis treatment’. Main results: From a total of 18,040 results, only 11 were included in the full review. The main determinate categories that were indentified in the review were (1) socio economic factors i.e. (lack food ....). (2) Patient related factors. (3) Condition related factors. (4) Health care team and health system factors. Conclusion: Adherence to the long course of TB treatment is a complex, dynamic phenomenon with a wide range of factors that impact treatment-taking behaviour. The main result identified in the review is that food incentive has a strong positive impact on adherence to tuberculosis treatment. *Correspondence to: Mousnad Mohamed Awad, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Pharmacy, International University of Africa (IUA), Khartoum, Sudan, Tel: +249-912325864; E-mail: m_abdalaziz@yahoo.com, mousnad@gmail.com
期刊介绍:
Primary Health Care Research & Development is aimed specifically at both researchers and practitioners in primary health care, bridging the gap between the two areas. It provides a forum for the publication of international, interdisciplinary research and development in primary health care. It is essential reading for all involved in primary care: nurse practitioners, GPs and health service managers; professional and local groups in community health; researchers and academics; purchasers of primary health care services; allied health practitioners in secondary services and health-related consumer groups.
