Abstract

Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity around the world. With the emergence of resistance to drugs used to treat Pulmonary TB, and HIV-TB co-infection, it has become a significant public health problem and an obstacle to effective TB control. A non-experimental comparative study design with cross-sectional survey approach was undertaken to compare the quality of life among tuberculosis new case, TB re-treatment, and TB with HIV in M.K.C.G. Medical College & Hospital Berhampur, Odisha. The overall QOL is good (61.62%), among TB new cases and among TB retreatment and TB with HIV client, the overall QOL score was average, i.e. 51.44% and 47.2%, respectively. Comparison of quality of life scores according to their demographic variety shows that QOL was better among male. Un-paired 't' and Anova test calculated to assess the significant difference of quality of life score between different categories of TB patient depicts that significant difference was found in TB new case with TB retreatment and TB with HIV, however in Anova test highly significant difference was found among TB new case, TB retreatment, and TB with HIV, respectively. The nurse can act as a counsellor and a health educator in improving adherence of medication and maintaining good quality of life for the patients. Based on the QOL score, a counselling guideline was developed, validated and distributed among DOTS providers of Berhampur city.
