The sample included 80 nurses and data collection took place from November 2017 to March 2018, using a questionnaire with 62 questions. To identify the level of implantation, the percentage of responses identified was distributed in four classifications: not implanted (from 0% to 25%); incipient (from 26% to 50%); partially implanted (from 51% to 75%) and implanted (from 76% to 100%). The Tuberculosis Control Program in the city was classified as partially implanted (62.85%). The dimensions Structure and Process were also evaluated as being in the same level (61.80% and 63.17%, respectively).
