An Observational Survey on the Quality of Life and Social Impact of Tuberculosis Patients in Dhaka City

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis, or TB, is an infection that is moved via inhaling particles from an infected person's coughs or sneezes. Lungs, abdomen, glands, bones, and the nervous system are each impacted. Tuberculosis is a global disorder. Tuberculosis is prevalent in nations with moderate to low incomes such as Bangladesh, India, the Republic of the Philippines, Pakistan as a whole and South Africa. Bangladesh remains one of the world's most severe impacted TB countries. Objective: The knowledge, treatment and practices of Bangladeshi people about tuberculosis are investigated in this study. Methods: This is a cross-sectional investigation in which survey reports from 74 patients with tuberculosis were collected via TB hospitals between February and March 2023. Result: A total of 74 persons took part in the research. The majority of responders (63.24%) were women, while 36.76% were men, over 50 percent the people who took part in this survey (59.6%) said they had heard of TB previously. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that healthcare professional teams should focus more on the public so that people know more about the causes of the spread of the disease. If education campaigns are focused at women, for example, TB awareness can be greatly enhanced.
