Journal Title: Kesmas: National Public Health Journal - Year 2014, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Tuberculosis control program conducted by World Health Organization, has increased tuberculosis cure rate and saved million people, but has less success in reducing tuberculosis incidence. Therefore, tuberculosis control program needs to put more emphasis on social determinants. It is obvious, since social determinants, directly or through its tuberculosis-risk factors, affect tuberculosis. In Bandar Lampung, notification rate during the period of 2009 - 2010 has increased although the cure rate of the period was more than 85%. Moreover, Bandar Lampung is located in Lampung, one of the poorest provinces in Indonesia. This research aimed to study the influence of social determinants (measured by indicators of education, income and social class) affecting tuberculosis incidence. The study was conducted during July - October 2012 at all health services, which has been implementing Directly Observed Treatment Shortcourse strategy, across the Bandar Lampung City. Respondents of this research consisted of 238 smear-positive tuberculosis patients and 238 suspects without tuberculosis. The result showed that the lower social determinants, the higher risk of suffering from tuberculosis. It can be learned that tuberculosis control should be accompanied by an effort of improving social determinants in order to reduce the incidence of tuberculosis.
