Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and remains a burden in Indonesia. Many factors contribute to the TB prevalence, including age, sex, body mass index, sputum smear conversion, HIV infection, and Diabetes Mellitus. The objective of this study is to identify factors contributing to TB prevalency at the primary health center.Methods: This research used as a cross-sectional study and was conducted in March 2020. The population of this study was TB patients at Porong Primary Health Center in Sidoarjo, East Java Province, Indonesia. Samples were all TB patients who registered in Porong Primary Health Center and were taken by total sampling. The sample size was 51 TB patients. There were no inclusion and exclusion samples criteria implemented. Data were collected that used the secondary data of TB Patients Registration, between 1st – 31st March April 2020. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution with SPSS Version 21.Results: Result shows there were 30 (58.80%) male TB patients, 34(66.70%) TB patients were adults, 48 (94.10%) TB patients had sputum smear conversion from positive to negative after two months DOTS therapy, there were 48 (94,10%) TB patients not infected by HIV Virus, and there were 36 (70,60%) TB patients had a history of Diabetes Mellitus.Conclusion: Factors contributing to TB prevalence are many, including age, sex, body mass index, sputum smear conversion, HIV infected, and Diabetes Mellitus. To improve care of TB patients requires integration and comprehension of care at the primary health center.
Introduction: The prevalence and incidence of HIV and AIDS in Sidoarjo is still high. Today, the adherence of patients to several ART services in Sidoarjo is quite low and varied. Therefore the researchers want to find out the effectiveness of registration using “the SATE Krembung” application in terms of service effectiveness, reducing the Lost Follow Up (LFU) and increasing patient adherence in Krembung Primary Health Care.Methods: The study was cross-sectional. The use of alternative ART service modes was done via “the SATE Krembung” application as an integrated queue system. The patients who participated in this study were HIV patients at Krembung Primary Health Care who accessed ART at Krembung Primary Health Care within the age range of 20 - 60 years. The total number of samples in this test was 16 patients.Results: Registration using “the SATE Krembung” application can reduce the waiting time for getting access to services for the HIV patients who plan on getting CST services and ART collection.Conclusion: Service effectiveness due to the use of “the SATE Krembung” application can improve service quality, reduce the Lost Follow Up (LFU) and increase the patient adherence in Krembung Primary Health Care’s ART services.
