Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between health behavior and sputum conversion in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis during the last phase of intensive medication. Sputum conversion, the transformation of sputum cultures from positive to negative for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a crucial indicator of treatment success and infectiousness reduction. The study examines the influence of health behavior, including adherence to medication, dietary habits, smoking status, and alcohol consumption, on sputum conversion rates. A prospective cohort design was employed, involving [number] patients undergoing intensive medication for pulmonary tuberculosis. Health behavior data were collected through questionnaires and medical records, and sputum conversion was monitored over the course of intensive treatment. The study's findings contribute to a better understanding of the impact of health behavior on treatment outcomes and may inform targeted interventions to improve sputum conversion rates in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
