Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) control is hampered by suboptimal case detection and treatment delays. Pharmacies are reported as a first-aid treatment for patients with TB. Therefore, researchers analyzed knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding TB case detection among community pharmacists, aiming to find innovative strategies to involve community pharmacists in TB case detection. The research aims to determine the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices, and the relationship between knowledge and attitude, knowledge-practice, and attitude-practice of community pharmacists in detecting tuberculosis cases in West Java Province. This research uses a descriptive observational method with 419 pharmacists who practice pharmacies. The results showed that pharmacists had a sufficient level of knowledge (14.94 ± 1.99), an adequate level of attitude (63.58 ± 9.12), and a sufficient level of practice (20.58 ± 8.55) regarding TB case detection. There is a very low relationship between knowledge and attitude (p-value 0.024<0.05), knowledge and practice ( p-value 0.018>0.05), and attitude and practice ( p-value 0.000< 0.05). This study concluded that community pharmacists in West Java Province have sufficient knowledge, attitudes, and practices in detecting TB cases, but the level of relationship between knowledge attitude and detecting TB cases, and the level of association between knowledge attitude and knowledge practice was very low, while the relationship between attitude practice was low.

Abstract

Indonesia ranks second globally in tuberculosis (TB) cases, with West Java identified as a high-burden TB region. Community pharmacists, often the first point of patient contact, have the potential to support TB monitoring. However, their role remains underutilized and understudied. This study aimed to evaluate community pharmacists' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) in monitoring TB medication, and to examine the relationships among these variables and respondent characteristics. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 419 pharmacists across 27 districts and cities in West Java Province. Data were collected via a validated online questionnaire comprising KAP domains. Descriptive statistics, Spearman’s correlation, and Chi-Square tests were used to analyze relationships between KAP scores and demographic/professional characteristics. Community pharmacists demonstrated moderate knowledge in TB treatment (14.94 ± 1.99), generally have a positive attitude towards the importance of their role and ability to monitor use of TB drug (21.6 ± 3.3). In practice, community pharmacists are low in reporting, monitoring, and providing assistance related to TB patients (10.7 ± 5.2). Significant but low correlations were observed between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.110, p = 0.024), knowledge and practice (r = 0.116, p = 0.018), and attitude and practice (r = 0.343, p < 0.001). Practice scores were significantly associated with access to patient consultation services (p < 0.001), while knowledge was linked to pharmacy location (p = 0.032), and attitude to gender (p = 0.026). Although community pharmacists in West Java show sufficient knowledge and positive attitudes, their involvement in TB monitoring practices remains limited. Targeted education and policy interventions are essential for their engagement in national TB control efforts.
