MOYA-SALAZAR, Jeel et al. Self-care attitudes of tuberculosis patients in Peruvian nurses after a hospital outbreak. Rev. cuban. med. mil. [online]. 2023, vol.52, n.2  Epub 01-Jun-2023. ISSN 1561-3046.

Introduction:

Tuberculosis continues to be one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Prevention measures are key to prevent its spread and contagion among health professionals. The objective of the present study was to determine the self-care attitudes about tuberculosis in the nursing staff after a hospital infectious outbreak in Perú.

Method:

A cross-sectional study was conducted in nursing staff (n= 94; technical staff n= 44, 46.8%). Volunteer nursing staff > 18 years old, of both sexes, and who work in the Emergency Department were included. The 15-item questionnaire from Valle (2017) was used to estimate knowledge and attitudes about self-care in nursing staff in 3 dimensions: prevention, diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis.

Results:

The average age of the participants was 44.7±8.8 years, 88.3 % were women, and the average working time was 11.2 ± 7.8 years. Difference was found between the years of service, among technicians (8.55 ± 7.94 years) and nursing professionals (13.48 ± 6.98 years) (p< 0.001). A hundred percent of nurses presented attitudes of acceptance of self-care in all dimensions; 4.5 % and 27.3% of nursing technicians presented attitudes of indifference in the tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment dimension (p= 0.001).

Conclusions:

There are favorable attitudes in the nursing staff about self-care of tuberculosis after an outbreak in a hospital in Lima, although in nursing technicians we report attitudes of indifference in the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis.
