Abstract

Introduction: Pulmonary Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria that can affect the lungs and other organs, specifically Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacterium belongs to a group of acid-fast bacteria commonly known as AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli). To this day, pulmonary tuberculosis remains one of the most dangerous infectious diseases worldwide. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Research Methodology: This research employs an observational study with a case-control study design. The sample consists of 69 individuals diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires, and data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. Result: The results of this study indicate that occupation (p=0.000), income (p=0.000), housing conditions (p=0.000), and smoking (p=0.018) significantly influence the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. All variables examined in this study showed an impact on individuals affected by pulmonary tuberculosis. Conclusion: This study concludes that occupation, income, housing conditions, and smoking are significant factors influencing the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Improving these factors may help reduce the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis in the community. Therefore, individuals are expected to adopt healthier lifestyles by maintaining cleanliness and a healthy home environment, making it a habit to cover their mouths when sneezing or coughing, and avoiding spitting indiscriminately. Additionally, they are encouraged to actively seek information about pulmonary tuberculosis and participate in educational sessions on the disease.

Abstract

Introduction: Breast cancer is a leading cause of mortality among women worldwide. Early Breast Self-Examination (BSE) detection can be crucial in reducing late-stage diagnosis and improving survival rates. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of audiovisual media and leaflet-based health promotion on adolescents' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding breast self-examination. Research Methodology: This type of research is quantitative. The design used is the pre-test-posttest control group design, which is considered relevant to the assessment of health education or training initiatives. The sampling method used is random sampling. The paired t-test was used for data analysis, and the independent t-test was used to compare the variation in knowledge scores between the two treatments. Result: Paired tests showed that the average knowledge score of the V2 group was higher than that of the V1 group (20.934 vs. 10.208) in the pre-test to post-test-1, with a significant increase in knowledge (p<0.05) between the two groups. Similarly, the average knowledge score of the V2 group was higher than that of the V1 group (19.646 vs. 7.183) in the pre-test to post-test-2, and their attitude change was more significant than that of the V1 group (7.980 vs. 2.765). However, in the pre-test to post-test-1, the attitude change between the V1 and V2 groups was insignificant (p>0.05). Likewise, the average attitude change score of the V2 group in the pre-test to post-test-2 was higher than that of the V1 group (6.555 vs. 2.009), although the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: This study concludes that the leaflet approach to adolescents' behavior regarding breast self-examination (BSE) substantially impacts improving knowledge and attitudes about the effectiveness of health promotion before and after its implementation.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent health literacy remains a critical determinant of dietary behavior, particularly in the context of unhealthy snack consumption. The widespread use of social media offers a strategic opportunity for delivering health education. This study aimed to analyze the effect of Instagram-based healthy snack education using video and comic media on adolescents’ health literacy, specifically knowledge and attitudes. Research Methodology: A quasi-experimental study with a time-series approach was conducted among 40 eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling at SMP Negeri 1 Mamasa, Indonesia. Participants were divided into two intervention groups (video and comic). Data were collected at four time points (pre-test and three post-tests) using validated questionnaires. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, Friedman test, Wilcoxon post hoc test, and generalized estimating equation (GEE), with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: Both interventions significantly improved knowledge and attitudes (p < 0.001). Video-based education showed faster initial improvement in knowledge (β = 1.45; 95% CI: 0.72–2.18), while comic-based education demonstrated more stable improvements in attitudes (β = 1.12; 95% CI: 0.60–1.64). Repeated exposure significantly enhanced outcomes over time (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Instagram-based health education effectively improves adolescents’ health literacy. Integrating video and comic media within sustained digital interventions is recommended to optimize both cognitive and attitudinal outcomes. These findings support the implementation of scalable, social media-based health promotion strategies in school settings
