Knowledge, Attitude and Preventive Practices on Central Nervous System Tuberculosis Among Healthcare Workers

Sejenis bakteria dipanggil “Mycobacterium tuberculosis” yang menyerang sistem saraf pusat telah menyebabkan kemunculan penyakit tuberkulosis (TB) sistem saraf pusat yang dilaporkan meliputi kira-kira 15% daripada keseluruhan kes TB ekstrapulmonari. Dalam fasa pertama, kajian ini bertujuan menentu...

description Sejenis bakteria dipanggil “Mycobacterium tuberculosis” yang menyerang sistem saraf pusat telah menyebabkan kemunculan penyakit tuberkulosis (TB) sistem saraf pusat yang dilaporkan meliputi kira-kira 15% daripada keseluruhan kes TB ekstrapulmonari. Dalam fasa pertama, kajian ini bertujuan menentukan tahap pengetahuan, sikap dan amalan terhadap TB sistem saraf pusat dalam kalangan pekerja penjagaan kesihatan dan juga faktor yang mempengaruhinya serta menentukan kaitan di antara pengetahuan, sikap dan amalan serta persepsi diri mereka terhadap penyakit tersebut. Kajian ini secara berturutan juga meneroka tema yang mempengaruhi pengetahuan, sikap dan amalan terhadap pencegahan TB sistem saraf pusat dalam kalangan pekerja tersebut di dalam fasa kedua. Pendekatan kaedah kajian dua fasa secara mod campuran telah digunapakai dalam kajian keratan rentas ini yang berpandukan paradigma positivisma. A bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis which affected the CNS has caused the emergence of CNS tuberculosis which covered approximately 15% of the total cases of extra-pulmonary TB cases. The first phase of this study was intended to determine the level of KAP on CNS tuberculosis among healthcare workers as well as its associated factors and to determine the association between KAP and selfsufficient perception among the HCWs towards the disease. This study sequentially also explored the themes that influence KAP on CNS tuberculosis prevention among the HCWs in the second phase. A two-phase mixed methods study approach was used in this cross-sectional study underpinned by positivism paradigm.
