Evaluating knowledge gain from TB leaflets for prison and homeless sector staff: the National Knowledge Service TB pilot
No full textBackground: The National Knowledge Service (NKS) is a National Health Service initiative to make patient and public information available to patients and healthcare professionals. The current study was carried out with a view to determine whether the resources developed by the NKS Tuberculosis Pilot have improved knowledge about tuberculosis among the target group in the short term. Methods: Information resources specifically targeted and developed for homeless sector staff, managers and prison officials were used for this study. Questionnaires were designed to assess a change in the level of knowledge by completing a ‘before’ and ‘after ‘questionnaire. A total of 51 participants took part in the evaluation. McNemar's test for matched pairs was used to determine observed change in knowledge. Results: Staff knowledge on symptoms of tuberculosis (TB) increased significantly after reading the targeted information resources. Knowledge gain for symptoms ranged from 17% (P = 0.007) for weight loss to 45% (P = 0.00001) for persistent fever. Knowledge about general guidelines that are available to this target group also improved, as did knowledge about the potential role of staff in supporting directly observed treatment (by 68% P = 0.00001) and the usual length of TB treatment (by 32% P = 0.0001). Pre-existing knowledge about the infectiousness of TB, risks for transmission and the likely period of hospitalization of patients with TB was high. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that purposefully designed and targeted information leaflets can be used successfully to translate complex information into a simple understandable format and impart knowledge of TB
Missed opportunities for tuberculosis diagnosis.
Get PDFBACKGROUND: In high tuberculosis (TB) burden, resource-poor countries, sputum smear microscopy remains the mainstay of diagnosis. The low sensitivity of this test means that patients with smear-negative but culture-positive TB pass undetected through the health care system. Such clinical episodes are missed opportunities for diagnosis and interruption of transmission, which might be averted through the application of more sensitive diagnostic tests. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the proportion of incident TB cases that might have been detected earlier than the actual date of diagnosis if a test more sensitive than smear microscopy had been used at an earlier presentation episode. METHOD: Retrospective cohort study in urban Peru, investigating health care facility interactions for symptoms suggestive of TB prior to TB diagnosis through patient interviews and a review of clinical records. RESULTS: Of 212 participants enrolled, 58% had one or more clinical interactions prior to their diagnostic episode. Of those with a prior episode, the median number of episodes was three. The median delay to diagnosis from first presentation was 26 days. CONCLUSION: There are clear missed opportunities for earlier TB diagnosis, delaying treatment initiation and continued spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the community. The implementation of sensitive diagnostic tests appropriate to resource-poor settings should be given high priority
