| Protocol awareness and utilization | Positive impact: the perception that the protocol has improved coordination and standardization of procedures for incarcerated patients is a positive outcome. This suggests that a standardized approach can enhance the management of TB within prison settings |
| Gap in knowledge: the significant portion of specialists unaware of the protocol raises concerns. Addressing this gap in awareness is crucial for ensuring consistent implementation and adherence to established procedures | |
| Communication and coordination | Positive evolution: the positive evolution in communication and coordination between TB outpatient centers and prisons is a promising trend. Improved communication, facilitated by technology, enhances the efficiency of TB diagnosis and monitoring within prison settings |
| Differing opinions: varied opinions on the establishment of communication suggest that there may be challenges in maintaining consistent and effective channels. Addressing these variations is essential for seamless coordination | |
| Diagnosis and monitoring | Information flow: the successful exchange of clinical information between institutions is a positive aspect, contributing to effective diagnosis and treatment. However, challenges in contact tracing and resource constraints indicate potential areas for improvement |
| Health literacy: the low level of knowledge about TB among inmates emphasizes the need for targeted educational initiatives. Enhancing health literacy within prison populations can contribute to prevention and early intervention | |
| Patient education | Nurse involvement: the active role of nurses in patient education is noteworthy. Leveraging this involvement and ensuring consistency in educational practices can strengthen efforts to inform and empower inmates about TB |
| Challenges in health literacy: the challenges in health literacy at both the national and prison levels underscore the importance of comprehensive education campaigns to address misconceptions and gaps in understanding |
