- W87168986 abstract "A rural district of South Africa.To describe the beliefs and experiences about tuberculosis of patients and community members and to suggest how these affect presentation to health services and treatment adherence.A descriptive study using structured interviews with individual patients, and focus group interviews with patients and community groups.There is a strong belief in this community that tuberculosis is the result of breaking cultural rules that demand abstinence from sex after the death of a family member and after a woman has a spontaneous abortion. People believe that the resulting disease can only be treated by traditional healers. This delays presentation to hospitals or clinics. There is also a belief in a 'western' type TB that can spread from sufferers or is due to environmental pollution or to smoking or alcohol excesses. A number of factors were cited that influenced adherence to treatment. These included the stigma of TB, the belief that there should be abstinence from sex while on treatment, difficulties accessing health services, long waits and unacceptable health worker attitudes.With the increasing rates of tuberculosis in South Africa, strenuous measures are needed to implement a good control programme that will increase the cure rate of tuberculosis patients. The results of this study suggest the need for health workers to learn about local beliefs that may influence presentation and adherence, and for traditional and western health workers to collaborate." @default.
