Lived experiences of persons on tuberculosis treatment in Nairobi County, Kenya: a mixed methods study

Treatment outcomes are influenced by multi-level factors such as low knowledge of TB prevention and control strategies, stigma, food insecurity, medication burdens like pill number, size, taste, and adverse drug reactions, facility preference, and economic hardships including loss of income. Understanding the individual needs of persons with TB will help develop interventions that are specific to them for better treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Treatment outcomes are influenced by multi-level factors such as low knowledge of TB prevention and control strategies, stigma, food insecurity, medication burdens like pill number, size, taste, and adverse drug reactions, facility preference, and economic hardships including loss of income. Understanding the individual needs of persons with TB will help develop interventions that are specific to them for better treatment outcomes.
