<![CDATA[Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Indonesia ranks third in the world's tuberculosis burden (8%) after India (27%) and China (9%). The increase in the number of incidents in Indonesia continues to increase every year. Even though there are many prevention and management efforts, the spread of tuberculosis bacteria is very easy. This research aims to determine the relationship between practical hygiene. And environmental sanitation against the incidence of TB in the Kesamben Community Health Center Working Area, Blitar Regency. This research is a quantitative research with a survey and analytical observational design with a retrospective approach (case control). The population of this study was the community in the Kesamben Community Health Center working area using purposive sampling technique and found as many as 40 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires and observation sheets, analyzed using SPSS with Logistic Regression Test with α = 0.05. The statistical test results show that there is a relationship between hygiene practices and the incidence of TB with a sig value. 0.005 and there is no relationship between environmental sanitation and the incidence of TB with a sig value. 0.121. This is because the habit of practicing cleanliness is not being used, especially the use of masks which are considered to interfere with breathing when carrying out activities such as work and other activities. It is hoped that future research can develop research related to the incidence of TB using other variables, for example health services, knowledge, PMO and more variables.]]>
