This paper is part of the overall baseline study assessing the knowledge, attitudes and care-seeking practices on Tuberculosis of the residents in the provinces of Antique, Cebu, Ilo-Ilo, Lanaodel Norte, Misamis Occidental and in the cities of Mandaluyong, Kidapawan and Surigao commissioned by Holistic Community Development and Initiatives, Inc. This is a descriptive research which used stratified random sampling in choosing the respondents per community with the aid of a map, totaling 2,435 residents. Since most of the covered community had no house maps, identifying respondents was also conducted with interviews using structured and centralized questionnaire prepared by the Philippine Business for Social Progress. Findings revealed that almost all residents heard about tuberculosis, knew that it is serious and contagious. However, results showed that despite respondents’ awareness on existence of tuberculosis, they lacked knowledge about its nature, cause, symptoms, preventions and treatment. Researchers also found out that attitudes of residents toward tuberculosis are positive though many feared mingling with TB infected individuals for possible contamination. With these, respondents need to be educated regarding tuberculosis’ prevention and treatment. Aggressive health education, enhanced programs for information dissemination and further assessment on TB DOTS program’s effectiveness are the ones recommended.   Keywords - care seeking practices, tuberculosis, TB DOTS program

Area Of Study

The paper examined how cooperative societies operating in Rivers State have been carrying out poverty reduction activities among their members so as to help them contribute to community development. The study answered three research questions. The population of this study comprised 2,355 members of twenty one (21) registered cooperative societies whose activities cover thrift and loan, and thrift and credit facilities. Stratified random sampling technique was used to sample 1,103 representing 50% of the members of the twenty one (21) thrift loan and credit cooperative societies which were used for the study. Through the study, authors established that cooperative societies in the area of study have been empowering their members through their poverty reduction activities. However, factors such as Lack of capital and corruption among the heads of cooperative societies in the State have been militating against the effectiveness of the cooperative poverty reduction activities. Therefore, in order to sustain the cooperative poverty reduction activities, cooperators need cooperative education.

And Control

We clarify patient participation by developing a systematic structure of 3<sup>4</sup>=81 models spanned out by three subcategories for each of four categories. Choosing a qualitative descriptive research design, and applying purposive sampling, four doctors, seven nurses, and seven patients were selected to ensure a broad representative sample with experts of varying ages and sexes from medicine and nursing. The preferences of these were mapped onto the theoretical structure. Applying content analysis, meaning units were identified, condensed and coded. The four categories information dissemination, formulation of options, integration of information and control were shown to be exhaustive, and mutually exclusive through time causing a topdown process where one occurs before the other through four stages. The three subcategories specify how patients, healthcare professionals, or both, operate within each category. That is, either patients are active in some sense that is specified, or healthcare professionals are active in some sense, or both are active. Delineating a structure of 3<sup>4</sup>=81 models, based on four categories and three subcategories, gives a richer structure than what has earlier been available. This almost all-embracing structure enables pinpointing the exact nature of any culture involved in care of patients, which illuminates how the culture reflects or can potentially be altered to reflect values of patient care that we respect.
