Background: Disease prevention is an important component of health care. Knowledge and attitudes are supportive factors in implementing healthy behaviour for tuberculosis (TB) prevention. This study aims to identify the relationship between the level of knowledge and family attitudes in preventing pulmonary tuberculosis.
Methods: The method of this study was quantitative analytical methods with cross-sectional approaches. The study sample was a family of pulmonary tuberculosis patients obtained with the total sampling technique (82 respondents). The instrument used was valid and reliable with Cronbach's alpha for knowledge (0.961) and attitudes (0.976). Data analysis in the study used univariate (category with cut of point for all variables), bivariate (chi-square) and multivariate analysis (logistic regression). The study was conducted at Tamansari Public Health Center in Tasikmalaya City.
Results: A total of 82 participants were completed in this study. The study showed that the majority of respondents have good knowledge (63.4%), positive attitudes (62.2%), and good prevention (67.1%). Based on the results of statistical tests using chi-square, there was a significant association between family knowledge with TB prevention (p value=0.012) and family attitudes with TB prevention (p value= 0.020). The most dominant factor influencing TB prevention was knowledge (OR: 3.333) compared with attitudes.
Conclusion: Knowledge becomes a dominant factor when compared with attitudes among TB patients. Family with good knowledge can support better information relating to the disease of TB patients during treatment and may increase self-care adherence. |
