Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the peer education method in improving tuberculosis knowledge among high school students. The problem addressed in this research was the limited understanding of tuberculosis among adolescents, which may influence prevention behavior and awareness. The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental one group pretest–posttest design. The research was conducted in February 2025 at a senior high school, involving 112 students selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that measured students’ knowledge before and after the educational intervention. The intervention was delivered through peer education, where trained students provided health education sessions, group discussions, and interactive learning activities to their classmates. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive analysis to describe respondent characteristics and comparative analysis to examine changes in knowledge levels before and after the intervention. The results showed that students’ knowledge improved after receiving peer education, indicating that this method helped students better understand information related to tuberculosis. The study concludes that peer education is an effective approach for increasing adolescents’ health knowledge because it encourages active participation, comfortable communication, and better information acceptance among students.

Abstract

The life of families caring for members with leukemia can be disrupted due to the high burden of care, thus risking a decrease in quality of life. This study aims to analyze the relationship between coping strategies and burden of care with the quality of life of families with leukemia at the Banda Aceh City Shelter. The study used a cross-sectional design with a total of 55 respondents taken through a total sampling technique from five shelters. Data collection was carried out through interviews using questionnaires from August 10 to September 10, 2023. Data analysis was carried out bivariately and multivariately using ordinal logistic regression. The results showed that 56.36% of respondents had a poor quality of life. Coping strategies, burden of care, social support, self-efficacy, education, employment, income, gender, and age were related to quality of life, while marital status was not. Respondents with low quality of life used more emotional focused coping strategies (65.85%) than problem focused coping (28.57%) (OR=4.82; p=0.020). In addition, heavy caregiving burden increases the risk of poor quality of life up to 11 times (OR=11; p=0.007). Multivariate analysis showed that the most dominant factor was family income. Therefore, the use of halfway houses is highly recommended to reduce the economic burden of cancer patients' families.
