Family functionality and treatment adherence in patients with drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis treated at health facilities in the San Martin de Porres district - 2019
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-07-24) García Morales, Diana Carolina; Pérez Siguas, Rosa Eva
Objective: Determine family functionality and adherence to treatment in patients with sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis treated in health facilities in the district of San Martín de Porres, 2019. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out. The study population consisted of 189 patients with susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis. The survey was used as a technique and two validated questionnaires were used as instruments, the Morisky Green test and the family Apgar, instruments that measured adherence to treatment and family functionality, respectively. Results: Family functionality resulted in good functionality with 10.1%; followed by mild dysfunction with 36.5%; moderate dysfunction with 38.6%; and severe dysfunction with 14.8%. Regarding the dimensions, the most affected were adaptation with 9.5% and resources with 9%. Adherence to treatment in patients with tuberculosis resulted in 10.1% adherence and 89.9% non-adherence. Conclusions: Patients with tuberculosis perceive family dysfunction in all its dimensions and are not adherent to treatment.
