Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the factors to self-care management among pulmonary tuberculosis patients in terms of perceived threat, cognitive factor, and health care delivery system as mediated by social support. Methods: Stratified, random, and purposive sampling techniques were employed to survey 282 respondents who were newly diagnosed of PTB, The respondents were represented from different areas of the Philippines such as Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. A descriptive–correlational research design was utilized in this study. Descriptive and inferential statistics were also used to analyze and interpret the results. Findings: The results of the study showed that respondents have high perceived threat on PTB and an average cognitive factor. The health care delivery system services in terms of medical utilities and diagnostics, referral system, and health education strategies were good. Respondents have high social support from family and friends. The self-care management of the respondent was good. The predictors of self-care management were the respondents’ cognitive factor, health education strategies, and social support. There was no significant difference found in the self-care management of the respondents in terms of their age, educational attainment, and economic status. However, a significant difference exists in the self-care management of the respondents considering their gender. The SEM indicated that social support fully mediated the medical utilities and diagnostics to self-care management. Value: Based on the findings, a healthy self-heal thy self PTB Preventive Program was developed to strengthen self-care management and promote adherence to treatment of the PTB patients. It is recommended that such program be tested for its effectivity in reducing the incidence of PTB.
