Apoteker-ledede digitale interventioner til forbedring af tuberkulosebehandling Adhæsion (CARE-TB)
Omfattende digital tilslutning og fjernengagement for at optimere behandling af behandlingen for tuberkulosepatienter (Care-TB-undersøgelse) i Selangor, Malaysia: En effektivitetsimplementeringsvidenskabelig undersøgelse
The gold standard for tuberculosis (TB) treatment support requires directly observed therapy (DOT), which means a trained health worker observes the patient swallow each dose of medication every day for 2 months. Despite the practice of DOT in Malaysia, 1 in 20 patients are loss-to-follow-up and non-adherent to treatment. Sub-optimal adherence due to poor treatment acceptability and social desirability promotes TB treatment failure, disease relapse, on-going transmission, drug resistance, and death. Telemedicine offers a flexible and less invasive option to support TB treatment adherence. Despite 97% internet and smartphone penetration rates, the practical implementation of digital adherence strategies to support and monitor TB treatment remains untested in Malaysia. The investigators propose to design, implement, and measure the effectiveness of a comprehensive, pharmacist-led digital solution for TB treatment support called CARE-TB which combines a package of asynchronous video-observed therapy, digital reminders, telecounselling and e-learning. In this multi-method effectiveness-implementation (Type 2) study using the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation and Sustainment (EPIS) framework, the investigators aim 1) To identify patient and provider-level facilitators and barriers to CARE-TB adoption via qualitative evaluation and to design a stakeholder-informed implementation strategy, (2) To assess effectiveness of CARE-TB strategy by evaluating (i) implementation outcomes, (ii) patient health outcomes, and (iii) service outcomes, and (3) To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of CARE-TB compared to standard of care from a societal perspective. This study will leverage digital platforms to expand the reach of TB adherence support, enhance adherence to TB treatment and improve treatment completion rates, while utilising existing personnel and resources in among the busiest TB treatment centres in the country.

EQ-5D-5L Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL)
Tidsramme: At baseline, 2 months and 6 months of treatment
|
HRQoL will be assessed using the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire. Unit of Measure: EQ-5D index score (range: -0.281 to 1.000 based on country-specific value set) Interpretation: Higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life. |

SF-12 Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL)
Tidsramme: At baseline and 2 months of treatment
|
The 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) will be used to assess participants' health-related quality of life. Two summary scores will be generated: the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS). The scoring scale is from 0 to 100, the higher the score the better the health related quality of life. |
