Analysis of the Concept of Self-Care in Multidrug Resistance Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) Patients

Multidrug resistance tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a form of tuberculosis bacterial resistance to at least two first-line anti-TB treatments, isoniazid and rifampicin, the two most effective TB medications.Treatment of Drug Resistant TB is set to be part of the national TB Control program.MDR-TB cases continue to rise.Clinical management of MDR-TB is more complicated than sensitive TB because it uses line I and line II anti-TB drugs, causing tolerance problems and side effects.Tuberculosis Multidrug Resistance (MDR TB) is a tuberculosis (TB) disease that has experienced resistance to isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin as well as one or more antituberculosis drugs (OAT).One of the things that affect the decline in body power is the influence of self-care patterns where it is influenced by internal and external factors.The purpose of this article is to identify internal and external factors that influence self-care patterns in MDR-TB clients.A concept analysis approach is used to analyze the concept of self-care.The four definitions of self-care are diet, regular physical exercise, regular medication monitoring, and self-care to prevent complications from poor self-care.The antecedent of self-care of MDR-TB patients has two factors, namely internal and external.Internal factors include; age, gender, knowledge, and attitude.External factors include; education, economic level, family support, and the role of health workers.The consequences of self-care can increase the success of recovery and improve quality of life.The conclusion of this concept is to increase nurses' knowledge about self-care in MDR-TB patients who carry out treatment so that it is expected to develop evidence-based nursing.
