It is, ultimately, about refining organizational issues and establishing a nurse approach that allows planning the care that is provided to these patients in order to improve the quality and access throughout the treatment period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNurses are crucial in the prevention, detection and treatment of tuberculosis and MDR-TB\u201d, explained\u00a0Frances Hughes, general director of the ICN, who brought to mind that often nurses are the first health professionals with whom patients make contact. Hence these updated guidelines are an invaluable resource when it comes to fighting the disease on the ground.\u00a0ICN aims to &#8220;train nurses so that they can cascade information to their fellow professionals and other health workers in order to improve the delivery of patient care\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More cases<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tuberculosis has reached epidemic proportions in many parts of the world. According to the data handled and disseminated by CIE, almost one and a half million people die every year due to this disease which, in most cases, may be cured and prevented, even in environments with few resources. Nurses work with TB patients all over the world, and there is an estimated three million of these professionals working or registered in the 22 countries where 80% of cases are concentrated. In most of these areas, they are the main providers and often the only source of health care, despite of working in deficient systems and having poor access to adequate training, supplies and resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source:\u00a0Diario Enfermero ANA MU\u00d1OZ. &#8211; The\u00a0International Council of Nurses (ICN)\u00a0recently announced the publication of its updated guidelines directed to nurses working in the field of care and control of tuberculosis, particularly MRD-TB.
