Abstract

Low public awareness in TB treatment, at least 6 months and many cases of drug discontinuation which causes resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs also affect transmission, do not understand how to treat. The purpose of this study was to determine the analysis of tuberculosis patient management in the Donggala District Health Center area. This research method uses a qualitative method to explain and describe (in words) the implementation of TB case finding at the Donggala Health Center so that the research results can be conveyed in depth, with 7 informants. Based on the research results, the community in the Donggala Health Center area has a diverse understanding, some people are aware of the dangers of TB and the importance of regular treatment. Health workers have an important role in finding new cases of TB. They carry out active screening by going directly to the community, conducting close contact investigations, and working with health cadres and the village government. The conclusion is that health services in the Donggala Health Center area are quite available, with the presence of laboratories and medical personnel who can carry out TB examinations and diagnoses quickly. Research suggestions can expand the reach of education to the community about the importance of TB prevention, compliance with taking medication, and the risk of spreading the disease.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a crucial phase for the development of lifelong health behaviours. Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is essential for enhancing public health, particularly among adolescents. This study focuses on the role of character education based on local wisdom in promoting PHBS among adolescents in Balaesang District, Donggala Regency. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to September 2024, involving 150 adolescents aged 12-15 years. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and field observations. The study evaluated the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and actions towards PHBS and the impact of character education based on local wisdom. Data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. Results: The findings revealed significant relationships between knowledge (p = 0.004), attitudes (p = 0.001), and actions (p = 0.002) toward the implementation of PHBS. Character education based on local wisdom was found to strengthen adolescents' knowledge, attitudes, and actions, leading to improved implementation of PHBS. Conclusion: Character education incorporating local wisdom plays a vital role in promoting clean and healthy behaviours among adolescents. Integrating cultural values with health education can effectively enhance the knowledge, attitudes, and actions of students, contributing to better public health outcomes.
