Ítem Acceso Abierto Factores asociados a multidrogorresistencia en pacientes con tuberculosis en Ecuador.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023-12-04) Romero Vélez, Mayra Alejandra; Dolores Quizphi, Deicy; 0302660543Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is a public health issue. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with multidrug resistance in tuberculosis patients. A qualitative-descriptive approach was employed in a bibliographic investigation encompassing diverse information sources from 2018 to 2023. The review analyzed nineteen publications predominantly originating from Ecuador. It was evidenced that most of these studies pertained to factors associated with the development of tuberculosis and its treatment abandonment. The method employed in this study is bibliographic with a qualitative approach and descriptive scope concerning factors associated with multidrug resistance in tuberculosis patients in Ecuador. It was concluded that tuberculosis transmission occurs through regular or prolonged exposure to patients disseminating tubercle bacilli in confined or poorly ventilated spaces. Furthermore, factors contributing to multidrug resistance include treatment abandonment or irregularity, resistance to unwanted influences, alcohol, tobacco, and drug consumption, lack of family support, knowledge deficits, and economic constraints, preventing effective recovery and leading to severe health complications and the proliferation of strains, thereby increasing population-wide contagion. Keywords: Tuberculosis, multidrug-resistant, tubercle bacilli, health complications, risk factors.
