Abstract
To analyze the discourse of nurse managers related to conditions that (dis)favor the control of tuberculosis in the elderly. This study is qualitative and was held in a city considered a priority in the control of tuberculosis in Paraiba. Data collection was carried out between February and May 2014, through semi-structured interviews with eleven nurse managers. French Discourse Analysis was used the to analyze the empirical material. The following discursive block was identified in the analysis: Conditions that (dis)favor the control of tuberculosis in the elderly. It was made evident that the training processes represent an important component in the effective control of this disease in the elderly. However, the speeches pointed to the maintenance of traditional educational practices in training and that tuberculosis in older people is not perceived as a priority. The nurse managers should trigger training processes to improve the control of tuberculosis in elderly patients based on continuing health education.
