Model Of Suspected Discovering, Warning, And Monitoring Of Tuberculosis

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) treatment in puskesmas is borne by a person in charge of TB (PJTB). One of the programs in handling TB is the detection of TB suspects (TB suspects). The discovery of suspected TB is one of the factors that greatly influences the eradication of TB disease. However, the number of TB suspects in the health center is still quite low. This is due to the wide coverage area of the puskesmas, overlapping responsibilities of PJTB, there is no active collaboration between PJTB and cadres or partners so that when TB suspects are found and scheduled to be absent, they are not monitored. To deal with this, it is proposed an information system model that can be used by PJTB and cadres or partners to report the discovery, warning, and monitoring of TB suspects so that it can increase the number of TB suspect detection findings. Based on the questionnaire from the information system model testing of 7 respondents conducted to PJTB and cadres or partners using the USE Questionnaire, the results obtained were 83.42% usefulness, 75.23% easy of use, 82.38% easy of learning and 78.57% satisfication
