| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study phase 1 aimed to clarify the concept of treatment life among community patients with tuberculosis undergoing care within DOTS in Japan.Semi-structured interviews were conducted by eight public health nurses providing care within DOTS. Interviews were analyzed qualitatively and structured concept.
The study phase 2 aimed to evaluate the psychological changes and identify associated factors among patients with TB undergoing the DOTS program in Japan.
The cross-sectional study recruited patients with TB receiving the DOTS program in four metropolitan cities in Japan. Surveys were administered to the patients and their attending public health or clinical nurses, who were responsible for their care and the DOTS program. The DOTS program in Japan improves patients’ treatment adherence and leads to recovery and psychological growth. Even in other regions, it may be effective to incorporate this program’s practices that place importance on partnerships with patients.
