Abstract :

Tuberculosis of the lungs (TB) is a persistent infectious condition that arises when the organism Mycobacterium tuberculosis establishes itself in the body. Although the lungs are typically the first site affected, the infection can migrate to various organs and produce non-pulmonary forms of TB. The illness spreads when tiny particles containing the bacteria are released into the air during activities such as speaking, coughing, or sneezing. According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2023), an estimated 10.8 million new cases and about 1.25 million deaths were attributed to TB globally. Indonesia continues to face a substantial burden from pulmonary TB, ranking among the top three countries with the greatest number of cases (Ministry of Health, 2023). In the service area of the Legok Health Center, 111 individuals were recorded as having pulmonary TB, with Babakan Village reporting the highest count at 20 cases. Community assessment utilized the Blum Paradigm and incorporated findings from a mini survey. Priority issues were determined through the non-scoring Delphi technique, and underlying causes were explored using a fishbone diagram. To help address the TB burden in the community, a health education session was delivered and evaluated with pre- and post-test questionnaires. All 20 participants scored below 70 before the session, while most attained scores of 70 or higher afterward.
