摘要

TB control programs have recognized that knowledge and behavior of the patient, as well as of the general population have a profound influence on the treatment seeking behavior and completion of course of treatment. The ongoing IEC efforts against tuberculosis in Delhi were intensified in the form of a multi-pronged media campaign. Objectives of this study were to evaluate (i) the impact of the campaign on awareness generation (ii) their opinion for making the campaign more effective (ii) perceptions of health personnel regarding the Campaign. The following qualitative methods were used(I) Focus Group Discussion ,(ii) key informant interviews (iii) In-depth interviews. Results and Conclusion: The study observed that (i) Different segments of the population varied their observations of IEC messages(ii) Stigma associated with tuberculosis is widely prevalent.(iii) Television voted as the most effective IEC medium. Therefore IEC strategies should be tailor-made and suited according to the needs of a sub-population. Funded by Delhi Tapedic Unmulan Samiti Introduction Approximately 2 million people die of tuberculosis every year [1]. India accounts for nearly one third of the global burden of tuberculosis [2].Each year in India, almost 2.2 million persons develop tuberculosis out of which about 1 million are new smear positive highly infectious cases and about half a million people die of tuberculosis [2]. TB programmes all over the world are based on the DOTS strategy which is called as the Revised National TB Control Programme in India. Its objectives are to achieve 85% treatment success and 70% case detection [3]. At present, RNTCP covers 90 % of India's population [4]. The entire city of Delhi was brought under RNTCP in 1999, and even though the treatment success rate in the year 2000 was 80 % and case detection rate was 68 %, the annualized total case detection rate still remained high at 203 smear positive cases per 1,00,000 population [5]. In a study on causes of mortality, which had been conducted in an urban population in Northern India, it was observed that tuberculosis accounted for 5.3 % of all the deaths[6].Various factors such as delay in seeking treatment, ignorance towards the modes of spread of the disease and treatment default could contribute to the currently high case load of tuberculosis in Delhi [7,8]. The TB control programmes have recognized and addressed those system components in which knowledge and behavior of not only the patient, but also the general population are the key issues which have a profound influence on the treatment seeking behavior and completion of treatment [9,10]. Under the RNTCP, case detection of tuberculosis mainly relies on the passive reporting of symptoms which to a large extent is dependent on voluntary presentation and motivation of an individual for recognizing the symptoms as well as cultural and social factors [3].It has been well documented that poor health education and awareness about tuberculosis of the patients and health care providers are one of the fundamental problems which adversely effect the current strategy of tuberculosis control [11].Lack of adequate information plays a key role as one of the major barriers to treatment compliance [12,13]. In those settings where high cure rates had already been achieved, community health education was observed to be highly relevant [14]. One of the major initiatives of the TB control programme aimed at behavioral change is the launching of an intensive IEC (information, education and communication) campaign. IEC activities help to speed up the process of change, to reinforce knowledge, and to ensure a continuous educational system for the community [15]. Although the IEC strategy has been an integral component of the RNTCP in Delhi, the ongoing IEC efforts were further intensified in the form of a campaign launched in March 2001.Prior to this, the IEC component of the RNTCP was not given much priority. The WHO had also declared
