Background: With a prevalence rate of 0.6%, DKI Jakarta still has obstacles in eradicating TB disease and one of the causes of the increased spread of TB disease is environmental factors. Based on data from the Health Department of DKI Jakarta in 2014, 38.9% of the houses examined were not included in the category of healthy homes. Therefore, the researcher is interested to do research about the relationship between the physical environmental factors of the residence with the incidence of tuberculosis suspect in Kecamatan Tambora and Penjaringan.
Methods: Descriptive analytic research with Cross-sectional approach done to community in Kecamatan Tambora and Penjaringan. In the results of this study found that 98 respondents refused to be interviewed, 70 respondents have moved to another area, and 2 respondents died. Therefore, the number of respondents who can be re-data only 176 respondents in 98 homes. Data collection was done by asking respondents to fill out questionnaires and make observations and measurements on respondent's house with environmental meter 4 in 1 (for room thermometer, lux meter, and hygrometer) and roller meter.
Result: The analysis with Chi Square test resulted in a significant relationship between humidity (p = 0.047), wall type (p = 0,020), roof type (p = 0,038) with suspect tuberculosis and no significant relation between temperature (p = 0,141) , lighting (p = 0,128), ventilation area (p = 0,153), roof type (p = 0,530), and population density (p = 0,473) with suspect tuberculosis.
Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between suspect TB incidence with moisture, wall type, and roof type in respondent's house (p <0,05). |
