Abstract :

It is crucial that basic knowledge about the tuberculosis and availability of treatment should be known to members of community to prevent any undue delay in availing the service. The present study attempted to understand the knowledge of tuberculosis and its treatment among tuberculosis patients at tertiary health care center in Pune City. A cross sectional study was conducted at outer patient pulmonary clinic of one of the randomly selected tertiary health care hospitals of Pune City. A total of 300 tuberculosis patients were interviewed. A pretested questionnaire form was completed by face to face interview. The data was entered in Microsoft office excel sheet and analyzed. The study revealed inadequacies in the knowledge of tuberculosis amongst patients particularly about side effects of drugs (χ2 = 58.9, df = 1, p < 0.001). The combined use of methodologies should be encouraged to deliver health education about various aspects of tuberculosis
