Abstract:
This study was descriptive research examining TB preventive behaviors
among OPD patients in Paholpolpayuhasana hospital, Kanchanaburi province,
Thailand. Socio-demographic and economic factors, TB knowledge, perception on
TB, and accessibility to TB information were all investigated. Data were obtained
from 225 OPD patients by self-administered questionnaire. All OPD patients aged
from 15 and above with inclusion criteria were included in the study.
The results showed that overall preventive behaviors of OPD patients were
at a good level of 25.78%. There were significant associations between education,
occupation, TB knowledge, perception on tuberculosis, and accessibility to TB
information with TB preventive behavior. There were also significantly associated
links between TB preventive behavior and two groups of significant persons who
provide TB information to the OPD patients, public health officers and friends.
This demonstrates that public health officers are still the main source for providing
effective TB information. There was no association between VHVs (Village
Health Volunteers), who are the community activists in primary health care, and
TB preventive behavior.
Even though there were strong associations between knowledge,
perception, and accessibility to TB information, accessibility to TB information
was still low (54.67%). Therefore, it is recommended that to improve the TB
preventive behavior, we need to improve accessibility to TB information which
could lead to an increase in the level of knowledge on tuberculosis. The hospital
should provide information through brochures or posters, or educate the patients to
be more aware of TB using appropriate mass media. Capacity building through
development of VHVs should strengthen knowledge on TB and help them be
involved in TB control.
