RESUMO
Este estudo transversal objetivou determinar a prevalência de conhecimento sobre adesão ao tratamento da tuberculose que os clientes com tuberculose pulmonar e seus familiares possuem acerca desta doença e fatores associados. Foram entrevistados os portadores de tuberculose atendidos no Programa de Controle da Tuberculose do Rio Grande (RS) e seus familiares, totalizando 150 clientes, sendo 68 portadores e 82 familiares dos mesmos. A prevalência de conhecimento foi de 60 por cento. A análise multivariada mostrou que o conhecimento sobre adesão esteve associado com a condição de ser portador (razão de prevalência 1,64; intervalo de confiança de 95 por cento1,25-2,15) e com o fato de já ter existido um caso da doença na família (razão de prevalência 1,33; intervalo de confiança de 95 por cento1,04-1,70). Constata-se que o conhecimento sobre adesão é baixo, evidenciando-se assim a necessidade de ações educativas aos enfermos, familiares e comunidade.
ABSTRACT
This cross sectional study aimed at the determination of the prevalence of the knowledge about the adherence to the tuberculosis treatment that clients suffering of pulmonary tuberculosis and their families have concerning this disease and associated factors. A total of 68 tuberculosis clients who attended the Tuberculosis Control Program in Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul State, and 82 of their family members were interviewed, totalizing 150 clients. The prevalence of the knowledge was 60 percent. The multivariate analysis has showed a meaningful association between the adherence knowledge and the condition of being a tuberculosis client (prevalence ratio 1.64, confidence intervals 95 percent 1.25-2.15) and with the fact of the existence of one case in the family (prevalence ratio 1.33; confidence intervals 95 percent 1.04-1.70). It is observed that the adherence knowledge is low, making it clear the need for educational actions for sick people, family members and the community.
