Abstract :
Tuberculosis (TB) 100% curable is one of the major
public health problems that is the leading cause of death
among adults. Almost a third of the world's population
has been infected. Default is one of the unfavorable
outcomes for patients on DOTS and represents an
important challenge for the control program.
Aim:
The present study was aimed to evaluate the
effectiveness of individual teaching program on
prevention of default tuberculosis treatment among newly
diagnosed cases.
Design:
A pre experimental –one group pre and post test
design conducted at TB hospitals of Vijayapur.
Methods and Materials:
Quantitative, evaluative research approach with pre
– Experimental research design was adopted for the
present study. 50 newly diagnosed tuberculosis cases were
selected by using convenient sampling technique. The
knowledge was assessed by using structured knowledge
questionnaires. Frequency, percentage, Mean and
standard deviation, chi square test and t test was used for
statistical analysis.
Result:
Individual Teaching Programme was effective in
increasing student’s knowledge regarding MDRT and it
was observed that paired mean pre-test post-test is -
20.740 where as standard deviation is 7.2829 the
calculated value is less than (<0.0001). Conclusion:
Individual Teaching Programme can be a better
prevention of default of tuberculosis treatment among
newly diagnosed cases of tuberculosis
