FACTORS AFFECTING THE EVENT OF REPEAT LUNG TB IN THE WORK AREA OF UPTD PUSKESMAS POLAK BANANA AND UPTD PUSKESMAS PERANAP, INDRAGIRI HULU REGENCY

Abstract

Pulmonary  tuberculosis (pulmonary TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis which spreads through the air. This disease is a big problem for developing countries, because it is estimated that 95% of patients with pulmonary TB are in developing countries, and 75% of people with pulmonary TB are in the productive age group (15-50 years). The purpose of the study was to determine the factors that influence the incidence of recurrent pulmonary TB in the UPTD of the Polak Pisang Health Center and the UPTD of the Peranap Health Center, Indragiri Hulu Regency.The sampling technique in this study used a non-probability sampling technique with a total sampling type of 65 respondents.Bivariate analysis was carried out with Chi Square statistical testing. Univariate analysis results showed that 75.4% of respondents did not smoke, 80% occupancy density was not crowded, and lighting was good 73.8%. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between smoking and recurrent pulmonary TB with a p value of 0.003, based on the Spearman correlation test, a value of 0.809 was obtained, which means that there is a very strong relationship between smoking habits and the incidence of pulmonary TB. There is a relationship between Occupancy Density and the incidence of recurrent pulmonary TB with a p value of 0.035. Based on the Spearman correlation test, a value of 0.787 is obtained, which means that there is a very strong relationship between residential density and the incidence of pulmonary TB. There is a relationship between residential lighting and recurrent pulmonary TB with a p value of 0.000, based on the Spearman correlation test, a value of 0.785 is obtained, which means that there is a very strong relationship between residential lighting and the incidence of pulmonary TB. It is recommended that respondents understand more about the importance of knowing the factors that influence the incidence of pulmonary TB, so that respondents want to practice this knowledge at home.
