Educational Level Mediates the Relationship Between Knowledge and Preventive Practices in Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Patients
Educational level appears to facilitate the translation of knowledge into preventive practices among MDR-TB patients, though the cross-sectional design precludes causal or directional inferences. Healthcare institutions should develop tailored educational interventions according to patients' educational backgrounds, including literacy-sensitive materials, simplified visual aids, and personalized counseling sessions to enhance MDR-TB prevention effectiveness in clinical settings.
