Abstract
The occurrence of traditional treatment for smear-positive pulmonary TB patients in the municipality of Aileu in 2018 is an act of negligence of patients against conventional treatment given through direct observation treatment short cost (DOTs) programs which are influenced by several driving factors, levers, and triggers so that the transfer of the patient to treatment traditional. To determine the factors that influence smear-positive pulmonary TB patients to tend to use traditional medicine in the municipality of Aileu in 2018.
The research stimulus was constructed using a quantitative analytic cross-sectional study, using a categorical scale with a sample of 106 smear-positive pulmonary TB patients who were taking the dots program. Data were analyzed cross-sectionally by establishing a relationship between one variable and another
The results of the analysis are presented (1) the influence of knowledge on the use of traditional medicine ranges from age group 18-37.32 (100%) with a P-value of 0.655, and the highest at ages 38-57 with a total of 33 (100%), from the second interval of the age group above, is in the productive age when associated with traditional treatment variables there is a possible relationship.
In this study, based on SPSS chi-square analysis, it was revealed that men ranked the highest 67 (100%) with a P-value of 0.736 while women 39 (100%), associated with traditional treatment in TB patients, had no significant relationship. In terms of education it can be seen that of 106 respondents, not going to school and primary school education 24 (22.64%) patients, still tend to use traditional medicine, and 39 (36.79%) of them did not use traditional medicine, with a Prevalencia Ratio value (RP) 0.065. Therefore it can be analyzed that there is no relationship between the level of education and the tendency of tuberculosis patients to use traditional treatments for tuberculosis in the municipality of Aileu in 2018. (2) Access to health facilities with TB incidence is a risk factor. Respondents who have access to inadequate health facilities have a 1,847 times greater risk of suffering from TB than those who have good access to health facilities.
According to Weraman P, Haslinda Baun (2016) said that with difficult access give impact to the community, especially TB sufferers using traditional drugs. (3) Drugs Supervisor (PMO) is a coordinator whose duty is to guarantee the regularity of treatment so that it can be quickly recovered or successful treatment according to the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes 2011). The drug supervisor has duties and functions as follows: (1) Supervise TB sufferers to ingest medicine regularly until the end of the treatment period (2) Provide encouragement to patients to seek regular treatment in the DOTs program and not to traditional medicine (3) Motivate patients to double-check the sputum at the time specified by the program (4) Provide counseling to family members of tuberculosis patients who have symptoms of TB suspects to immediately check with health workers (5) Help accompany patients in taking anti-tuberculosis drugs in health facilities. Provide counseling about the benefits of conventional medicine with the effects of traditional medicine. The role of the supervisor of taking medication (PMO) is always to provide counseling about tuberculosis because the problem of tuberculosis has a lot to do with issues of knowledge and people's behavior. The aim is to increase awareness, willingness, and community participation in tackling tuberculosis. Irregularity in taking medication is a risk factor for TB in children under five. Respondents who did not take medicine regularly had a risk of getting TB 4,295 times more than respondents who took medicine regularly.
