Abstract
This research is part of cross-sectional and correlational studies. In this, the authors describe health beliefs about TB tuberculosis and related factors in Cali-Colombia. The results come from a health survey carried out on a multistage probabilistic sample of 1000 habitual residents of the city of Cali in 2016. The interviews were asked about Health beliefs related to susceptibility, severity, barriers and possible related factors. The results showed that 67.2% of the population was believed to be susceptible to developing the disease and 78.4% considered TB to be a severe disease. The opportunity to have two beliefs that favor prevention behaviors is lower in women (OR = 0.62) and in people with poor knowledge about TB (OR = 0.48). In the study, it was estimated that the opportunity to have three beliefs that favor prevention behaviors, is lower in people who are less than 50 years old (OR = 0.63). Health beliefs about TB seem to be related to gender, age, knowledge and having had contact with people with TB.
