Pulmonary tuberculosis patient on observed anti tuberculosis therapy with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax: a case study using the Roy adaptation model

Tuberculosis pulmonar en paciente con tratamiento antituberculoso con neumotórax espontáneo secundario: estudio de caso basado en el modelo de adaptación de Roy

Resumen

Introduction: Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax can occur as a complication of several underlying diseases, such as pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The accumulation of air in the pleural space causes shortness of breath due to inadequate oxygen supply, leading to poor adaptation and reduced quality of life for patients and, potentially, death. Interventions that apply Roy’s adaptation model can help patients adapt to changes in physiological needs, self-concept, role function, and interdependence. The aim of this case study was to apply Roy’s adaptation model theory to pulmonary TB patients on observed anti tuberculosis therapy (OAT) with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax.
