Usability of directly observed treatment by video according to healthcare professionals and people affected by tuberculosis: scoping review

Introduction: Tuberculosis remains one of the leading causes of death from infectious diseases, affecting vulnerable population in particular. Video-Directly Observed Treatment, recommended by the World Health Organization and incorporated into national policy in 2023, emerges as a digital alternative to the face-to-face model, requiring an assessment of its usability. Objective: To identify scientific evidence on the usability of Video-Directly Observed Treatment, according to health professionals and people with tuberculosis. Method: Scoping review conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR. The question was structured by the population, concept and context strategy, with searches in databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE, LILACS, Embase and CINAHL, including studies in Portuguese, English and Spanish, with different methodological approaches. Expected results: We expect to identify facilitators and barriers to the Video-Directly Observed Treatment, contributing to more qualified care practices and evidence-based public policies. The proposal is aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being), Sustainable Development Gal 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) and Sustainable Development Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities).
