Abstract

Objective: Describe the adherence to consolidation treatment of tuberculosis patients at Nam Dinh Lung Hospital in 2023. Research subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 105 subjects from December 2022 to March 2023. Results: The proportion of patients fully complying with the 4 treatment principles is only 37.1%, but only a very small proportion (1.9%) of patients failure to comply with any treatment guidelines. Of these, 93.3% of patients took the correct dose of medicine but only 68.6% of patients took the medicine correctly. The majority of study subjects believed that the factor affecting adherence to consolidation treatment was the length of treatment duration (64.8%). Only one-tenth of the study subjects experienced side effects when using the drug (9.5%). Conclusion: The study has shown that it is necessary to continue to increase patients' knowledge and practice of self-care pulmonary tuberculosis. The contents that need attention are knowledge and practice of drug use, strengthening supervision and reminding patients to comply with drug use.
