We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive survey among 141 medical physicians treating tuberculosis (TB) patients, registered with local chest physicians association in Lucknow District, India. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to evaluate the physicians' knowledge of anti-tuberculosis prescribed medication regimens. Sixty percent of eligible physicians had Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program training, mostly in the public sector. Only two-thirds of physicians could correctly state the recommended TB drugs. Physicians, especially in the private sector, had inadequate knowledge of the approved anti-tuberculosis prescribed medication regimen. This study demonstrates the need for adequate training in both public and private sectors regarding the correct anti-tuberculosis treatment regimens.
我们对印度勒克瑙地区当地胸科医师协会注册的141名治疗结核病患者的内科医生进行了一项横断面描述性调查。使用半结构化问卷来评估医生对抗结核规定用药方案的了解情况。60%符合条件的医生接受过修订后的国家结核病控制项目培训,大多是在公共部门。只有三分之二的医生能够正确说出推荐的抗结核药物。医生,尤其是私营部门的医生,对批准的抗结核规定用药方案了解不足。这项研究表明,公共和私营部门都需要就正确的抗结核治疗方案进行充分培训。
