Insights

Nurses are vital in enhancing parental involvement in pediatric tuberculosis (TB) care to prevent drug-resistant TB (DR-TB). Their roles as educators, communicators, and advocates are key to successful family-centered care.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nursing
  • Infectious Disease Control
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Parental involvement is crucial for effective pediatric tuberculosis (TB) care and preventing drug-resistant TB (DR-TB).
  • Suboptimal parental engagement presents significant challenges in pediatric TB management.
  • Nurses are strategically positioned to facilitate parental involvement in pediatric TB care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and map the specific roles nurses undertake to facilitate parental involvement in pediatric TB care.
  • To identify key nursing functions that enhance family engagement in pediatric TB treatment.
  • To provide a foundation for improving nursing strategies in pediatric TB management.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive scoping review was conducted.
  • Methodology followed Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) standards and PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
  • Literature searches encompassed major databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, etc.) for studies published between 2010 and 2025.

Main Results:

  • Twelve studies were included in the review.
  • Nurses performed six primary roles: educator/coach, communicator, facilitator/coordinator, advocate, counselor, and evaluator.
  • Various barriers and facilitators influenced the execution of these nursing roles.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses play an indispensable role in fostering parental involvement in pediatric TB care.
  • Strengthening nursing roles is essential for effective pediatric TB management and DR-TB prevention.
  • Findings offer a framework for nursing interventions, training, and policy to enhance family-centered TB care.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V01:28

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V

Medical management of tuberculosis (TB) patients involves a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The specific strategies can vary depending on the type of tuberculosis (latent or active), the patient's overall health status, and other considerations.
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the progression...
Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention01:30

Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention

Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed.
Pulmonary Tuberculosis I01:29

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Pulmonary Function Tests

Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs)
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
PFTs involve using a spirometer, a...
Sputum Studies II: Culture and Sensitivity01:20

Sputum Studies II: Culture and Sensitivity

Description
Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...
