Abstract
Late seeking health facilities among Tuberculosis (TB) suspects patients leads to the low detection rate of tuberculosis cases.
Objectives: To determine the factors that influence health-seeking behavior in tuberculosis suspect patients.
Methods: This national cross-sectional TB survey was carried out from 2013 to 2014. The 156 stratified clusters sampling units were sort into rural/urban and three regions. A sample of eligible 15-year-olds was interviewed for TB symptoms and screened for MTB by microscopy and LJ culture. All positively screened participants were interviewed about TB treatment-seeking behavior. Statistical analysis using logistic regression by Stata.
Results: Approximately 13.3%(1,119 out of 8,388) of
TB suspect participants said they could hide a family member's TB. However, TB suspects who hid their family member's TB were 1, 2 times more likely to seek treatment (unadjusted OR= 1.22 (95 percent CI: 1.04-1.44). Current smokers were 1.81 times less likely to seek treatment (OR= 1.81 (95 percent CI: 1.55-2.11). Females are more likely than males to have tuberculosis (OR= 1.26 (95 percent CI: 1.09-1.45).
Conclusion: The proportion of TB patients seeking medical attention remains low. Patients with TB in their family, current smokers and female patients are determining factors of health-seeking behavior.
