Abstract

ABSTRACT Tuberculosis is a global and national problem. TB patients can play a crucial role as a source of transmission, but they can also help accelerate the interruption of the TB transmission chain through preventive behavior and compliance with treatment programs. This study aims to identify the preventive behavior and treatment compliance of TB patients and analyze their relationship with TB transmission prevalence. This research is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consists of all Pulmonary TB patients registered and undergoing treatment programs at first-level health care facilities in Tarakan City. The sample size was 84 respondents taken using purposive sampling technique. The inclusion criteria for this study are: pulmonary TB patients, registered and undergoing TB treatment process at Community Health Centers in Tarakan City, willing to participate as respondents, and aged over 17 years. The research instrument was adopted from Juliati (2019) with a Cronbach Alpha of 0.88. The results of this study showed that most TB patients have poor preventive behavior but high compliance with treatment programs. Statistical analysis using Binary Logistic Regression obtained sig. = 0.014 with OR = 24.416 for TB prevention behavior and sig. = 0.086 with OR = 2.032 for treatment compliance; it is concluded that preventive behavior has a significant relationship with TB transmission but the opposite applies to TB treatment compliance. Keywords: Compliance, Preventive Behavior, Transmission, Tuberculosis  ABSTRAK Tuberkulosis merupakan masalah global dan nasional. Penderita TB dapat berperan penting sebagai sumber penularan, tetapi ia juga dapat membantu mempercepat memutus rantai penularan TB melalui perilaku pencegahan dan kepatuhan pada program pengobatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi perilaku pencegahan dan kepatuhan pengobatan oleh penderita TB serta menganalisis hubungan keduanya dengan prevalensi penularan TB. Penelitian ini merupakan kajian analitik observasional dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh penderita TB Paru yang terdaftar dan mengikuti program pengobatan pada fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan tingkat pertama di Kota Tarakan. Besar sampel sebanyak 84 responden yang diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling. Kriteria inklusi penelitian ini yaitu: pasien TB Paru, terdaftar dan mengikuti proses pengobatan TB di Puskesmas di Kota Tarakan, bersedia menjadi responden, dan berusia lebih dari 17 tahun.  Instrumen penelitian di adopsi dari Juliati (2019) dengan Cronbach Alpha 0,88. Hasil penelitian ini diperoleh sebagian besar penderita TB mempunyai perilaku pencegahan yang buruk tetapi memiliki kepatuhan yang tinggi pada program pengobatan. Analisis statistik menggunakan Regression Binary Logistic diperoleh sig. = 0,014  dengan OR = 24,416 untuk perilaku pencegahan TB dan sig. = 0,086 dan OR  = 2,032 untuk kepatuhan pengobatan; sehingga disimpulkan bahwa perilaku pencegahan mempunyai hubungan yang bermakna terhadap penularan TB tetapi berlaku sebaliknya untuk kepatuhan pengobatan TB. Kata Kunci: Perilaku Pencegahan, Penularan, Kepatuhan, Tuberculosis

Abstract

Stunting constitutes a formidable challenge within public health development, necessitating integrated, cross-sectoral strategies for its effective mitigation. A heightened prevalence of stunting is observed in the coastal regions of Tarakan City. This study was designed to elucidate the determinants of stunting among children aged 6–36 months within seaweed farming communities in Tarakan City to inform the formulation of targeted prevention and control policies. An analytical observational study employing a cross-sectional design was conducted from July to September 2023. The target population comprised 200 mothers engaged in seaweed farming in the coastal areas of Tarakan City with children aged 6–36 months. A purposive sampling method was utilized to recruit a sample of 151 participants. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that stunting was significantly associated (p<0.05) with several variables. Key maternal determinants included the level of knowledge regarding stunting, household income, and residential sanitation conditions. Child-specific determinants encompassed the history of exclusive breastfeeding, morbidity from infectious diseases, and daily protein intake. In conclusion, the prevalence of stunting among children of seaweed farmers in this coastal setting is multifactorial, with significant determinants originating from both maternal and child-related factors. Although certain variables did not yield statistical significance in this analysis, their established role in pediatric health is undeniable. Therefore, it is recommended that comprehensive public health interventions continue to address all investigated factors, given their scientific foundation for promoting optimal child growth and development
