The way these effects are typically studied is through a unifying framework. \u201cQuality of life (QoL) is a single concept capable of capturing these wide-ranging impacts,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2026\/03\/Nancy-Bedingfield.jpg\" alt=\"Nancy Bedingfield\" class=\"wp-image-405280\" style=\"width:292px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nancy Bedingfield<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>To measure QoL, researchers often use an internationally recognized questionnaire called the World Health Organization Quality of Life \u2013 BREF (WHOQOL-BREF). But while working on a larger study called MISSED OUTCOMES, which explores the causes and effects of high TB rates in South Africa\u2019s Eastern Cape province, Bedingfield realized that standardized measures might miss something vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStandardized questionnaires yield very valuable information, but cannot capture the cultural and individual complexity that really matter when it comes to an outcome as personal as quality of life,\u201d she says. \u201cWe can\u2019t truly understand the impacts of TB unless we look at the experience holistically. We need a nuanced understanding in order to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this, Bedingfield pursued a stand-alone study within MISSED OUTCOMES which has now been published in <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1186\/s44263-026-00258-x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>BMC Global and Public Health<\/em><\/a>. The study was co-designed with Andrew Medina-Marino\u2019s team at the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation, University of Cape Town, and engaged a recent graduate of York\u2019s School of Global Health,<strong> Mahilet Girma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team conducted open-ended interviews with individuals at different stages of treatment, giving participants space to share their own experiences of how TB affects their daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants described how TB didn't just damage their lungs, but disrupted routines, limited their independence and reshaped how they saw themselves and their roles within families and communities. Many described a decline leading up to a diagnosis, as unmanaged symptoms made work and everyday tasks increasingly difficult. Treatment was not an automatic remedy. In fact, early treatment was often the most challenging stage, marked by medication side effects, fatigue and mounting financial strain. Even after treatment ended, many participants continued to experience those challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants judged their well-being on what mattered most to them: the ability to work, support family or pursue personal goals. Physical recovery wasn\u2019t enough; without income or social assistance, many still felt the quality of their daily lives was poor. Through those personal perspectives, the study will add nuance to how well-being is understood in TB patients and highlight gaps in social and economic services, pointing to the systemic changes needed to improve outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople experiencing TB, especially in low- and middle-income countries such as South Africa, require financial assistance and personalized counselling to achieve a fulfilling quality of life and recover from the setbacks imposed by TB,\u201d says Bedingfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study recommends more support during early treatment, when well-being is often at its lowest, as well as after treatment ends when people are considered \"cured.\" This could include income assistance, counselling, education and programs to help people return to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recovery from TB is about eliminating infection as much as it is about restoring stability, independence and dignity \u2013 something medicine alone cannot achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe hope our study comes to the attention of international and national decision-makers who can increase prioritization and funding for social protection programs \u2013 such as cash transfers, nutrition programs and personalized counselling \u2013 for people affected by TB,\u201d Bedingfield adds. \u201cThe needs of people affected by TB are great, but the resources available for person-centred supports are lacking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 快播视频-led study highlights how tuberculosis continues to affect work, finances and relationships long after medical treatment ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2293,"featured_media":405291,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11,22],"tags":[33,6,63,9,21,76,47,23,15,24,4],"yfileauthor":[204],"qualifier":[198],"yfile-author":[248],"tags-to-show":[177,147,162,175,154,158,159],"workflow":[],"class_list":["post-405279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","category-research-innovation","tag-equity","tag-faculty","tag-faculty-of-health","tag-international","tag-research","tag-sdg-1","tag-sdg-10","tag-sdg-3","tag-sdg","tag-wellbeing","tag-yfile","yfileauthor-yfilestaff","qualifier-by","yfile-author-alex-huls","tags-to-show-equity-diversity-inclusion-edi","tags-to-show-faculty","tags-to-show-faculty-of-health","tags-to-show-international","tags-to-show-research","tags-to-show-sdg","tags-to-show-wellbeing"],"acf":{"internal_publish_date":"20260326","original_image":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
