Introduction Tuberculosis (TB) is still a persistent health challenge in Indonesia and ranks high on the list of factors causing morbidity and mortality. Improving knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions (KAP) of the general community about TB can help to control the disease. Purpose This study aimed to examine the KAP about TB in Indonesian society and investigate their sociodemographic determinants. Participants and Methods An online cross-sectional survey in 34 provinces in Indonesia was carried out in June 2022. The scores of KAP were classified as low, moderate, and high. Bivariate and multivariate ordinal logistic regression were applied to identify the potential sociodemographic determinants of KAP. Adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval (CI) for each determinant were provided. Results Among the 3205 participants, 56.4%, 91%, and 38% had high scores on knowledge, attitude, and perception, respectively. Independent determinants of high knowledge were age (26–35 years; adjusted odds ratio: 1.53 [95% CI: 1.19–1.97]), marital status (married; adjusted odds ratio: 1.18 [95% CI: 1.00–1.39]), and salary (middle income; adjusted odds ratio: 0.76 [95% CI: 0.63–0.93]). Independent factors associated with high scores in attitude and perception were the residence location (village; adjusted odds ratio: 0.76 [95% CI: 0.59–0.98]) and the occupation type (civil servant; adjusted odds ratio: 1.53 [95% CI: 1.09–2.13]), respectively. Conclusion Most Indonesians have a high knowledge and good attitude, although they have a moderate perception toward TB. Improving public awareness and health education with the right strategies is critical to reducing the country’s TB burden.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected two vital sectors: the economy and health. Subsequently, people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) face the dilemma of risking having a severe prognosis or non-compliance treatment. Objective: This study determines the relationship problems between the economic aspects and compliance behaviour in T2DM patients during the pandemic and how community health centres solve them. Methods: Data were collected from interviews with 20 T2DM patients and nine health workers in the Central Bogor region. The data were transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically. Results: Most patients tended to prioritise their economic condition. Besides, the community health centre has innovated an internet-based health service with particular policies to solve the problems. Conclusion: Economic pressure due to the COVID-19 pandemic has changed patients’ mindsets. Community health centres respond with particular policies to sustain patient treatment adherence.
Diabetes melitus tipe 2 merupakan penyakit kronik dan membutuhkan tindakan khusus bagi pasien. Terapi untuk diabetes melitus tipe 2 dibedakan menjadi terapi farmakologi dan terapi non farmakologi. Contoh dari terapi non farmakologi untuk diabetes melitus tipe 2 adalah aktivitas fisik dan olahraga yang sesuai. Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk mengungkap berbagai aktivitas fisik dan olahraga yang dilakukan pasien untuk dapat membantu tenaga kesehatan dalam menyusun strategi edukasi yang sesuai. Penelitian ini merupakan studi kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode fenomenologi. Sebanyak 30 subjek terlibat dalam penelitian ini Pemilihan pasien dilakukan menggunakan metode sampling bola salju. Pengambilan data dari pasien dilakukan dengan metode wawancara mendalam (in-depth interviews). Wawancara mendalam dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik probing untuk memvalidasi setiap pernyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh pasien.. Data diolah dengan metode transkrip dan dianalisis secara tematik untuk kemudian diinterpretasikan dalam bentuk pernyataan hasil wawancara. Dari penelitian ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa sebagian besar pasien rutin melakukan aktivitas fisik dan olahraga. Beberapa pasien tidak dapat melakukan olahraga secara rutin akibat terhalang oleh waktu. Maka dari itu, diperlukan kolaborasi antara tenaga kesehatan untuk memberikan edukasi terkait aktivitas fisik dan olahraga yang sesuai bagi pasien Diabetes Melitus tipe 2.
