| Summary: | Pulmonary tuberculosis is the major infectious
diseases that cause death in Indonesia. Indonesian
government’s efforts to cope with this disease are
to follow the WHO recommendation to use the
DOTs strategy. The weakness of this strategy is
DOTs socialization has not reached all health
centers, government and private hospitals so that
the finding of new cases is still very low.
Introduced an alternative model is the partnership
of educational institutions, health services and
communities, through community empowerment in
the early detection of TB cases. This model was
named “Corong Segitiga sehat Model.” The
purpose of this study was to see community
participation in trials that proved the model of the
household contact person coverage checked him
into the clinic. Quantitative and qualitative research
methods with experimental research design that
uses one-group pre-post test. The results showed
the formation of partnerships with the model PPTB
group after 1 month of training provided by
educational institutions and health centers, patients
with detectable BTA (+) as many as 9 people, as
many as 14 people with suspected tuberculosis.
These data supported the statement that the results
of the training cadre will strengthen our selves for
the more daring cadres advised people to check
their household contact him to health center.
Involve partnerships with community participation
is one key to effective implementation of the model
to detect new cases of tuberculosis. It is
recommended for local governments actively
participate as one component of a healthy funnel
triangle, because of the influence of local
government to increase community larger. |
