ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis (TB)
has become one of major health problems. Successful treatment of pulmonary TB
is determined by patient adherence. One of the factors that influences poor
patient adherence is the lack of knowledge in TB among patients and treatment
observer. Improving this knowledge is therefore necessary. This study was
conducted with the aim to analyze the effect of education using a booklet with
pictures and Madurese language on the TB knowledge level of patients and
treatment observer. This study used a quasi-experimental study design with one
group pre-test and post-test. This research was conducted in Kaliwates,
Patrang, and Mayang health centers, Jember Regency. The level of knowledge was
evaluated using a 16 item questionnaire at the time before the booklet was
given and 1-2 weeks after. The result of paired T-test analysis showed a
statistically significant increase (p<0.001) of TB knowledge level before
(10.18 ± 1.781) and after (11.88 ± 1.686) the education using the booklet. In
conclusion, the use of a booklet containing illustrated pictures and local
language may improve the level of knowledge of TB patients and their treatment
observer.
