Full textStatistics from Pigg’s Peak Hospital, in Swaziland, continue to show an improvement in the uptake of HIV testing among TB patients, as well as a very high rate of HIV co-infection among the TB patients. The unit’s reports also show a low uptake of antiretroviral therapy among the HIV co-infected TB patients, and high death rates. Most of these deaths occur among HIV co-infected TB patients who have not yet initiated ART despite being on TB treatment. Anecdotal evidence suggests that there is reluctance and refusal by a considerable proportion of TB/HIV co-infected patients to take TB treatment and ART concurrently, and that they prefer to commence ART after completing TB treatment. No study has ever been conducted in Swaziland to determine the reasons for refusal of ART initiation prior to the completion of TB treatment among HIV co-infected TB patients. Aim The aim of this study was to explore the reasons for refusing antiretroviral therapy among HIV co-infected tuberculosis patients, prior to the completion of tuberculosis treatment, at Pigg’s Peak Hospital, in Swaziland. Methods A qualitative descriptive study was conducted in order to generate information on the subjects’ experiences and views on the concurrent taking of tuberculosis and antiretroviral medicines. A sample of nineteen HIV co-infected TB patients was purposefully selected to answer the research question. Results The most common reasons given by the respondents for refusing ART initiation during TB therapy were their un-readiness for ART, especially because ART must be taken for life, the perception that one was still in good health, the fear of adverse outcomes being precipitated by combining ART with TB medicines, a preference of traditional medicines, and health systems-related problems. Other reasons were: a lack of food, substance abuse, a fear of the increased pill burden, a denial of the HIV-positive status, and problems related to treatment supporters. Conclusion In TB/HIV co-infection care settings, comprehensive Pre-ART counseling must be integrated with interventions that address the specific barriers to ART initiation faced by clients; to improve the acceptability of ART initiation during TB therapy to these HIV/TB co-infected patients.

Full textBackground: TB is one of the most common opportunistic infections in the HIV infected population. In 2014, of the 9.6 million people estimated to have TB globally, 1.2 million were also infected with HIV. In the same year WHO reported 400 000 TB deaths in HIV infected people worldwide. TB Prevention strategies include ensuring HIV infected people take ART, TB infection control, treatment of TB cases and pharmacological prevention of primary TB infection or progression of latent TB into active TB. Isoniazid preventive therapy for a minimum of six months has been recommended to reduce the risk of TB in people living with HIV. Aim: The study’s aim was to determine the programmatic outcomes of isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) and factors associated with treatment completion among people living with HIV aged 15 years and above at the AIDS Healthcare Foundation LaMvelase clinic in Manzini Swaziland, who were enrolled for IPT during the period March to December 2014. Methodology: This was a quantitative retrospective analytical cohort study that reviewed 3642 patient care records. IBM SPSS 20 was used for descriptive and statistical analysis of the data. Descriptive statistics were calculated and reported as frequencies and percentages. Bivariate statistics were carried out to test independent associations between socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, and IPT completion. Further multiple logistic regression analysis was done to determine the nature of association between the dependent and independent variables which had p < 0.1.

Though Directly Observed Treatment Short Course protocol has been implemented in a bid to control tuberculosis in Swaziland since 2006, yet treatment outcomes have not been studied in this high TB/HIV co-infection country. This study seeks to examine tuberculosis treatment outcomes and investigate associated factors among tuberculosis patients in Manzini, Swaziland. A retrospective cohort study was carried among tuberculosis cases receiving treatments at the Manzini TB center from January to December 2012. Treatment outcomes were followed from July to September 2013. A total of 556 patients (55.2 % male, 44.8% female) with a mean age of 35.8 years were treated; 324 (58.3%) were smear-positive pulmonary TB cases and 232 (41.7%) were smear-negative pulmonary TB cases. 412 (76%) of the patients were HIV positive and most (85.6%) were new cases. 500 (76%) patients successfully completed treatment. Of those who completed treatment, 138 (32.3%) patients were cured as confirmed by smear negative results and 288 (67.7%) were neither cured or failures. Other outcomes of TB treatment were death 57 (10.3%), failure 32 (5.8%) and 41 (7.4%) defaulted TB treatment. Multinomial logistic regression results showed that male gender, smear-negative pulmonary TB, re-treatment case and being HIV positive were more likely to be associated with death, failure, default or completed (not cured group). The tuberculosis treatment outcome as suboptimal and targeted measures should be considered to reduce the rate of poor treatment outcome among high risk groups. Special attention should also be given to the proportion of patients that completes treatment but are not cured from TB. Although the tuberculosis criteria set by the WHO appears to be clear and comprehensive, they have limitations and require refinement in high burden and low income countries.

Background: Drug resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is a critical threat to public health in Swaziland. Despite efforts that the Government of Swaziland has put towards the management of this disease, treatment outcomes for DR-TB patients remain poor. The study aimed to investigate predicting factors of treatment outcomes among DR-TB patients in Swaziland. Methods: A retrospective cohort design was adopted where secondary review of medical records of all adult patients who initiated DR-TB treatment in Swaziland between January 2013 and December 2014 was done. A total of 800 DR-TB patients’ records were included in the analysis. X2 test was used to determine association among variables. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of DR-TB treatment outcomes. Data with P-value <0.05 or equivalent was considered significant. Results: Of the 800 patients, 419 (52.4%) were cured, 157 (19.6%) completed treatment, 149 (18.6%) died, 52 (6.5%) were lost to follow up (LTFU) and 23 (2.9%) failed treatment. Predictors of mortality after adjustment were: age 40 years and older (OR 2.105, P=0.001); age 15-24 years (OR 1.968, P=0.050); rural residence (OR 1.720, P=0.035); Rifampicin mono resistance (OR 3.822, P=0.002); Rifampicin and Isoniazid resistance only (OR 3.088, P=0.035); non-DOT (OR 2.352, P=0.053); non-provision of food and transport support (OR 2.041, P=0.022). Predictor of LTFU was non-provision of food and transport support during treatment (OR 11.372, P=<0.001). Predictor for treatment success was being located in the Shiselweni region (OR 4.85, P=0.009). Conclusion: This study revealed high burden of DR-TB accompanied with high mortality which was mostly related to the patient’s demographic, clinical and social support characteristics. Intensification of interventions targeted at early diagnosis and treatment as well as addressing social risks factors that hinder adherence to treatment is necessary to improve DR-TB treatment outcomes in Swaziland.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of death worldwide and Swaziland is one of the countries with highest rates of TB. Patients with Drug-resistant are feared by nurses because of the infectiousness nature of the diseases and its resistance to drugs. This fear is thought to lead to poor nurse caring behaviors which patients perceive as stigma. Purpose: To examine (1) the relationship between patients’ perceptions of nurse caring and tuberculosis related stigma (2) the predictors of tuberculosis related stigma among patients with drug-resistant TB in Swaziland. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 84 patients with drug-resistant TB completed a demographic data sheet, Lee-Hsieh at el., (2004) Caring behavior measurement and Van Rie at el., (2008) Tuberculosis related stigma scale. Results: The patients reported a poor perception of nurse caring behaviors frequency (x̅ =2.52±.41), and a high level of perceived TB related stigma (x̅ = 30.20±9.31). Only the “gender” and “monthly income” variables had a significant mean difference in nurse caring behaviors (p< .05). There were no demographic factors associated with TB related stigma. There was a significant correlation between the perception of nurse caring behaviors and TB stigma among patients with drug resistant TB (r= -.709, p< 0.01). Hierarchical Multiple Regression revealed that “Sincerity, Empathy & Respect” and “Professional caring behavior” can predict TB related stigma (F= 42.24, p< 0.01), explained variance of 52.8% with “Sincerity, Empathy & Respect” being the strongest (β = -.599). Conclusion: Nurse caring behaviors can predict how patients perceive stigma, thus emphasis on caring behaviors education on nurses is needed to reduce TB stigma among patients with drug-resistant TB. Once patients have a lower perception of stigma, they have a higher possibility of adhering to TB treatment.
