The systematic review process begins with the formulation of clinical questions relevant to the topic. Before this, the authors establish PICOS criteria, which stand for: P (problem, patient, or population), I (intervention, prognostic factor, or exposure), C (comparison or control), O (outcome), and S (study design). For this article, P: Patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis who experience psychological stress, I: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), C: Standard care or conventional treatment without CBT, O: Reduction in psychological stress (levels of stress, anxiety, or depression), S: Randomized Controlled Trials.
The article search was conducted systematically using the keywords: "Tuberculosis" AND "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy” AND “Cognitive Therapy” AND “Medication Adherence” AND “Medication Compliance” AND “Psychological“AND “Depression” AND “Anxiety”.
