TB Screening Implementation Fidelity Among Diabetes Patients in Ubungo District, 2025

94 health providers from 20 public facilities in Ubungo district were surveyed from April 4 to May 25, 2025, to assess fidelity to TB screening guidelines for diabetes patients. The study, conducted by Edwin Christian Chavala, found an overall provider-level fidelity score of 83.0%, with 78 out of 94 providers reporting high fidelity. Factors like teamwork, self-efficacy, and facility level were significantly associated with implementation consistency.

Use Cases

• Analyze provider-level factors influencing TB screening fidelity based on teamwork and self-efficacy scores.
• Compare implementation fidelity across different facility types (hospitals, health centers, dispensaries).
• Model the association between facility context and screening practices using modified Poisson regression.
• Assess the gap between national guideline recommendations and on-the-ground adherence in a specific district.

Strengths

• Includes data from 94 health providers across 20 distinct public health facilities.
• Provides specific statistical results, including an overall fidelity score of 83.0% and adjusted prevalence ratios for key factors.
• Data collection period is precisely defined as April 4th to May 25th, 2025.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data reflects a specific geographic (Ubungo district) and temporal (2025) context, which limits generalizability.
