Abstract: The objective: to study the type of attitude towards the disease in tuberculosis patients depending on their age and social factors.Subjects and Methods. The data of 24 patients of Thoracic Surgical Hospital of N.V. Postnikov Samara Regional Clinical TB Dispensary and 52 patients of the Lesnoye TB Sanatorium were studied. The TOBOL psychodiagnostic technique and the Mann-Whitney U-test, a method for statistical data processing, were used.Results. Patients of the thoracic surgical hospital, compared to patients of the sanatorium, more often have anxiety cluster types of attitude towards the disease.
