- W2047698905 abstract "An understanding of the socioeconomic and cultural realities of persons infected with tuberculosis (TB) in communities is important to re-strategizing control programs because these realities often come as constraints to the use of the directly observed therapy short-course (DOTS) in Nigeria. In-depth interviews and focus group discussion were used to study barriers to attendance at DOTS clinics for both prompt diagnosis and treatment of smear positive cases in Nigerian communities. A number of common and interrelated factors form barriers to use of DOTS clinics. These include perceived causes of the infection, for example witchcraft, that mitigate against an orthodox solution to TB and thereby affect perceived efficacy of DOTS. Another factor is perceived high cost in resource poor settings. Facility staff were noted to have demanded money from patients in spite of the fact that DOTS is advertised as free treatment. Furthermore, community members complain of the hostile attitude of health staff toward poor people as a barrier to community use of the facilities. It follows, therefore, that the attitude of health workers must be addressed if community members will use the DOTS clinics." @default.
