Ítem Acceso Abierto Calidad de vida en los pacientes con tuberculosis atendidos en el distrito 03D02: Una revisión sistemática.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca, 2024) Angamarca Padilla, Karina Jazmin; Zhao Quizhpilema, Mariuxi Alexandra; Rodriguez Pañora, Patricia Elizabeth; 0302947387; 0302654090Introduction: Tuberculosis is a contagious disease that represents a significant global challenge, mainly in developing countries. Beyond the physical symptoms, the disease affects mental health and social relationships due to associated stigmas, which makes tuberculosis a problem that impacts multiple aspects of life, requiring a comprehensive approach to its management and treatment. In Ecuador, despite attempts to control tuberculosis, there is evidence of a significant prevalence of this disease. Objective: To determine the quality of life of patients with tuberculosis treated in District 03D02 through a systematic review. Methodology: The PRISMA 2020 protocol was used. The primary databases for the search were Google Scholar, SciELO, PubMed, and institutional repositories, among others. The included studies passed the proposed filters in the inclusion criteria: year of publication, language, keywords, and publication type. Results: Tuberculosis affects the quality of life of patients in terms of physical, psychological, and social aspects. Additionally, a direct association between socioeconomic level and the disease was found. On the other hand, it was found that most cases of tuberculosis occur in men, but women present the quality of life with the most significant deterioration. Conclusion: There were 230 cases of tuberculosis reported in the year 2022; however, the results indicate a lack of information regarding the quality of life in patients with the disease in district 03D02. Keywords: quality of life, tuberculosis, stigma.
