Usuários com tuberculose nos serviços de saúde: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

Despite the advances in the last decade through the actions of tuberculosis control, this remains an endemic problem in Brazil. Our country occupies the 17th position among the 22 countries with the highest reported incidence of tuberculosis. This worrying scenario extolled our scientific interest, particularly in the sense of understanding how literature reviews and assesses the route care of patients with tuberculosis in health services. In this direction, we opted for exploratory research, focusing on specialized scientific literature review. The references surveyed about tuberculosis were collected from MEDLINE, SciELO and Virtual Health Library Bireme. We also examined studies that investigated the impact and treatment of tuberculosis control in the health sector. The result of the research that has been allowed to understand the current analyzes the gradual improvement in the quality of diagnosis to treatment. The literature suggests that this is due to the strong presence of investment in training and human resource management processes, attention and care in the health services. These factors appear associated in the literature as responsible for positively impacting the epidemiology of tuberculosis control and humanization of patients towards health recovery in its path in health services. The literature also indicated that coordinated actions should be promoted, especially connecting health actions and social actions. It is to share our "finds" with other researchers who present this article.
