Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, causing more than 100.000 deaths annually. Despite ongoing control efforts, the treatment success rate in several regions remains below the national target. In 2023, Kolaka Regency, which borders Konawe Regency, reported more than 800 TB cases with a treatment success rate of 85%, lower than the national target of 90%. During the period 2021–2025, the Sampara Community Health Center recorded 42 confirmed TB cases, highlighting the continued burden of the disease in the area. Objective: This study aimed to describe the epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis cases in the working area of the Sampara Community Health Center, Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted using secondary data obtained from tuberculosis records at the Sampara Community Health Center. A total of 42 pulmonary tuberculosis patients were included in the study through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed descriptively to characterize patients according to demographic, clinical, diagnostic, treatment, and geographical variables. Results: The majority of tuberculosis patients were male (66.7%), and the most affected age group was 51–60 years (31.0%). Most cases were classified as new cases (66.7%) and were bacteriologically confirmed (66.7%). Pulmonary involvement was observed in 95.2% of patients. All patients received Category 1 anti-tuberculosis drug (OAT) therapy. The most common treatment outcome was treatment completion (54.8%). HIV status was unknown in the majority of patients (81.0%), while positive chest radiography findings were reported in 59.5% of cases. Geographically, TB cases were distributed across nearly all villages within the health center’s service area, with the highest proportion reported in Andepali Village (14.3%). Conclusion: Pulmonary tuberculosis remains widely distributed in the Sampara Community Health Center service area, predominantly affecting middle-aged and older adult males. The high proportion of new and bacteriologically confirmed cases underscores the need for strengthened surveillance, early case detection, improved HIV testing coverage, and enhanced treatment adherence strategies to achieve better tuberculosis control outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Diarrhea remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in coastal and island regions with limited access to sanitation. The low ownership of healthy latrines is an environmental factor contributing to the high incidence of diarrhea. South Buton Regency, especially the working area of Batuatas Health Center, has challenging coastal geographical conditions, making it vulnerable to sanitation and environmental health problems. Objective: This study aims to describe the distribution of access to healthy latrines and the incidence of diarrhea in the working area of Batuatas Health Center during the period 2022–2024, based on secondary data from the Health Center Profile Methods: This is a quantitative descriptive study using secondary data from the Batuatas Health Center Profile. The data analyzed include the percentage of households with healthy latrines and the incidence rate of diarrhea across all age groups. The analysis was conducted using tables and graphs to interpret patterns and trends narratively. Result: The coverage of healthy latrines decreased from 77.45% in 2022 to 64.04% in 2024. Conversely, the incidence of diarrhea increased from 23.15 per 1.000 population in 2022 to 24.25 per 1.000 population in 2024. Conclusion: Access to healthy latrines is closely related to the incidence of diarrhea. A decrease in healthy latrine coverage has the potential to increase the risk of diarrhea in Batuatas. Efforts in education, community empowerment, and strengthening the Community-Based Total Sanitation program need to be continuously improved, especially in coastal areas with limited sanitation facilities. These results are expected to be the basis for environmental health intervention strategies in South Buton Regency. Key Word: Sanitation, Latrine, Incidence, Diarrhea, Environmental Health
