A cross-sectional study to determine the psychological distress among pulmonary tuberculosis patients during COVID-19 pandemic
2023
Overview
COVID-19 pandemic had adversely affected the services of the tiol Tuberculosis (TB) Elimition Programme, resulting in psychological distress among pulmory tuberculosis patients (PTB). This cross-sectiol, hospital-based study included 361 PTB patients. Three pre-defined questionires were used for the alysis, a questionire to evaluate anxiety related to COVID-19, a patient health questionire (PHQ-9) for depression, and a fear of COVID-19 scale (FCV-19S) questionire. Among 361 PTB patients, 13% (n=47) had COVID-19 infection. Out of the total patients, 69% (n=250) were DR-TB (drug resistance-tuberculosis) cases. Proportion of anxiety, fear and depression due to COVID-19 was found in 49% (n=177), 23% (n=83), 67% (n=247) respectively. Delay in the initiation of anti-tubercular treatment was found in 58% (n=210) of the cases, among which the majority, i.e., 69% (n=172, p=0.011), were DR-TB. This pandemic has led to a sudden step-down of PTB. Trend alysis of the psychological distress showed a peak following the COVID-19 pandemic. Most DR-TB patients had delayed initiation of the anti-tubercular treatment during the pandemic. The preponderance of the younger age group was seen in the pulmory tuberculosis patients, and a majority of them had DR-TB. Depression was the predomint psychological distress among the study subjects during the pandemic.
