INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the huge causes of death worldwide in which HIV plays an important role and it is a big challenge to control. Further, TB can be treated well if a person would know about it early. Early diagnosis of TB is very important so that latent TB does not convert into active TB. There are many vaccinations and many treatments available to treat TB but unfortunately people are still suffering from TB.
AIM AND OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to assess the knowledge attitude of radiographers and practice towards TB patients. To knowledge about the technique used and proper procedure applied in special X-rays based radiographs. To save patients as for retake investigation and get proper diagnosis. To provide best quality service to patients and their attendants.
METHODOLOGY: A prospective study was conducted by making objective type questionnaires and filled it by radiographers which were on duty. The data of 11 radiographers and 9 MRIT students was collected after that analysis was done. There is also a specific inclusion and exclusion criteria.
RESULT: A total of 20 candidates participate in which there are 11 radiographers and 9 M.Sc. RIT students. The mean value of the radiographer result is 56.9% and the mean result of the students was 56.1%.
CONCLUSION: This study shows satisfactory self-rating of knowledge of TB, the radiographers. Satisfactory knowledge implies confidence in handling patients and positive attitude towards them. Not surprisingly, the majority of them treats with empathy. It is possible that they behave that anyone could be the victim including themselves.
