Tuberculosis identification on students of Pesantren in Probolinggo Regency.

This paper examines the tuberculosis investigation and screening process on the students, as the tuberculosis disease control in Pesantren Zainul Hasan Probolinggo, Indonesia. This study used an analytic correlation design with a survey method and action research approach, while its populations were all of the students. The 87 students were trained by the Probolinggo Public of Health Office to do tuberculosis observation and screening to detect the tuberculosis suspect. Then, the students were provided with health education, and a cadre was formed. The research results indicated a 0.967 (insignificant) correlation between students' role and case detection. Meanwhile, a significant correlation of 0.01 was observed between students' motivation and tuberculosis case detection, and the highest significant correlation of 0.001 had been found among students' attitude and tuberculosis case disclosure. Thus, students' attitude carries great contribution to the increase of tuberculosis case detection in Pesantren and facility provision and students' motivation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
