Abstract

Posyandu (Integrated Health Service Post) is a community-based initiative that supports health development, including the prevention and control of tuberculosis (TB), particularly among vulnerable groups such as mothers and children. This community service program aims to enhance the capacity of Posyandu cadres in the early detection and prevention of TB through a series of activities, including health education sessions, the distribution of pocketbooks, and training in the use of flipcharts. The program was implemented in the working area of Puskesmas Siriwini, Nabire Regency, involving five Posyandu units and 18 active cadres. The implementation method employed a participatory and interactive approach to improve cadres' understanding and skills in identifying TB symptoms and effectively delivering health information to the community. Evaluation results showed a 20% increase in cadres' knowledge based on pre- and post-test assessments. Education-based interventions and the use of visual aids proved effective in strengthening the role of cadres as agents of change within the community, particularly in detecting TB symptoms, providing public education, and breaking the chain of transmission. These findings highlight the importance of empowering Posyandu cadres through continuous training and the need for cross-sectoral support to improve the effectiveness of TB control programs, especially among mothers and children.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health issue, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia, which ranks third globally for TB cases. In Papua, the number of TB cases has been steadily increasing, especially among the productive age group (15-50 years). This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Nabire District, Central Papua, using an observational analytic design with a case-control study. The case population in this study consists of all patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) BTA (+) residing in the working area of Sriwini Health Center, totaling 50 individuals. The control population includes patients diagnosed with negative pulmonary TB, totaling 100 individuals, with a total sample size of 150, selected using the total sampling technique. The instrument used in this study is a questionnaire, which contains a list of questions related to the respondent's identity and the variables of the study, including age, gender, occupation, smoking status, alcohol consumption, housing density, house lighting, and household contact history. The questionnaire used is standardized with a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.937, so no validity or reliability testing was conducted. The data from this study were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results provide valuable insights into the local epidemiology of TB and underscore the need for targeted public health interventions to address these risk factors. Improving TB detection, treatment adherence, and public awareness are essential for controlling the TB burden in Nabire and similar areas in Central Papua.
