RESUMO

Tuberculosis remains standing out in the world, despite science allowed to get proper treatment and cure, with the support of the expansion strategy of Directly Observed Treatment, Short Course (DOTS) and decentralization of control to the Health Strategy Family, the disease has abandonment and non-adherence to treatment as major reasons for treatment failure, which leads to implications for public health and the health of the individual, its repercussions. Considering how the Family Health Team includes the actions for the control of tuberculosis and the care provided to patients and their families, this research aimed to analyze under the Primary Health Care, the factors related to noncompliance with treatment for tuberculosis in the patient s vision in the city of João Pessoa - PB, by size of family focus. This is an evaluative study of qualitative nature. The construction of the empirical material was collected through interviews, during October and November 2009, using oral history as methodological issue. We interviewed seven users who have had to abandon as a criterion of closure for the treatment of TB. After examining the material was produced one major category: Factors related to discontinuation of the treatment of tuberculosis according to the patient s perception of TB, from which emerged two empirical categories: Social vulnerability and abandonment of treatment of tuberculosis; The comprehensive care of the Health Team family for the patient with tuberculosis: strengths and weaknesses. The trajectory of the research revealed that the link with the Family Health Team is crucial to the success of treatment may compromise the continuity. We identified the need for the health care team know the project of happiness of the individual and his family, to better know and understand behaviors and values related to health-disease process. We also observed that the consultations are important strategies for patient monitoring and link building. It was found that it is imperative to involve the patient and his family in the care process, bringing to light the need for the practice of co-management and integral and humanized care, and encourage interdisciplinary partnerships and of intersectoral actions. The analysis of living conditions of the employees showed that all were in a situation of social vulnerability, noting that TB is linked to lower socioeconomic levels, which leads to reflection that the patient needs care perceived as a dimension of completeness. Thus, we conclude that there is need for changes in political, administrative, organizational and social, involving health services, community, family, media and training, and awareness among health professional. It appears that the treatment of tuberculosis limited to the clinical aspects of the disease and regular drug intake is not sufficient to solve your problem and prevent abandonment.
