Introduction: A control programme termed Directly Observed Treatment Short-Course (DOTS) is adopted to promote early TB detection and effective TB treatment. An indicator of a successful DOTS programme is the Sputum Conversion Rate (SCR) which is obtained at the end of the two-month intensive treatment to measure the treatment outcome by SCR. The present study determined the association between several factors and the SCR among TB patients attending the DOTS clinic at the Kinta District Health Office (PKD Kinta) in 2017. Methods: The factors included are sociodemographic factors, physical factors, knowledge, attitude, and practice of TB patients. All groups of 150 sputum smear positive pulmonary TB patients enrolled for treatment at PKD Kinta between January and September 2017 were recruited for this study by the cross-sectional questionnaire method. A statistical analysis was performed to determine the association between the variables and the SCR of the TB patients in the DOTS programme. Results: At the end of the two-month intensive period, an SCR of 96.0% was obtained. According to the statistical analysis of the association among sociodemographic factors and SCR, there are no statistical differences between the variables. Similarly, no association was found between the physical characteristics and SCR in the current study. Conclusion: SCR methods are perfect methods used in regular medicine to monitor TB cases’ treatment. The identification of factors influencing the DOTS programme is critical to ensuring the program’s success in eradicating TB in society.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends treatment for tuberculosis with the Directly Observed Treatment Short course chemotherapy (DOTS) strategy, one of which is in the form of a health worker. It is very important to ensure that the patient has swallowed all the medicines given as directed by direct supervision by the health worker. The purpose of this research is to find out the health worker knowledge of swallowing drugs about the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis infection. Method This research uses descriptive quantitative research using frequency distribution. The research sample consisted of 43 respondents using accidental sampling with univariate analysis presented in the frequency distribution table. Results of this study of 43 respondents found as many as 38 people (88.4%) have good knowledge, this is influenced by the level of education of respondents and the provision of health education routinely for tuberculosis sufferers and health worker. Conclusion, the health worker knowledge of swallowing drugs about the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis infection is good.
