Family Member's Knowledge of Tuberculose Transmission Risk Behavior in West Kalimantan
Abstract
The bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the cause of tuberculosis (TB), which is a crucial problem in a community both nationally and globally. The development and evolution of the bacteria itself can cause an increase in cases. The active spread of TB is very easy through air that has been contaminated with the bacteria until it is inhaled by someone. The role of patients in preventing tuberculosis is necessary, along with their families and health care workers. Educational interventions that are part of independent nursing actions are one of the solutions to increase prevention and treatment success on a family and community scale. This study used primary data obtained through direct observation using a questionnaire consisting of patient demographic data, knowledge level, and level of infectious risk behavior. Sampling was done using non-probability sampling using a purposive sampling technique with inclusion criteria, namely the core family of patients diagnosed with TB, with good communication skills. Meanwhile, the exclusion criteria were patients who were not accompanied by their families for treatment, were not part of the core family of TB patients, MDR-TB patients. The number of samples in this study was 100 people. Data analysis in this study used the bivariate chi-square test. The study results on family members of TB patients were mostly male (52%) with a high level of knowledge (65%) and low-risk behavior (59%). The results of the statistical test with chi-square showed that a high level of knowledge had a number of cases of family members with a low risk of infectious behavior (Asimp.Sig 0.005 <0.05). Most respondents had a high knowledge level and a low risk of infection. In essence, a good educational process is capable of independently training a person to change their behavior and attitude for the better.
