THE ROLE OF THE PATRONAGE NURSE/TECHNICIAN IN VISITING AND EDUCATING PATIENTS WITH TUBERCULOSIS

Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the role and importance of patronage nurses/technicians in the care of patients with tuberculosis, with a particular focus on their contribution to improving health status and treatment success. The main hypothesis of the research is that patronage nurses significantly contribute to more successful treatment of patients through education, continuous support and monitoring of therapy. To confirm this hypothesis, a qualitative research approach was applied, through conducting interviews with patronage nurses and patients with tuberculosis. The results show that regular home visits, detailed education about the disease and therapy, as well as the psychosocial support provided by patronage nurses, significantly improve adherence to therapy and result in better health outcomes for patients. The conclusions of this research confirm the importance of patronage services as a key part of the health system in the fight against tuberculosis. Additionally, it is recommended to strengthen resources and support for patronage teams, in order to ensure an even greater positive effect on treatment and prevention of the spread of the disease
