Literatur Riview : Pencegahan Peningkatan Kasus Tuberkulosis Dengan Menemukan Kasus Aktif TB Di Masyarakat

Abstract

Indonesia ranks third with the highest prevalence of Tuberculosis (TB) in the world. It is estimated that 27% of TB cases globally are undiagnosed so WHO in The End TB strategy calls for all people with TB to be diagnosed, treated and informed. This study aims to determine the benefits of preventing an increase in TB cases by finding active cases in the community.  The research method was carried out by conducting a literature review of the results of research in the last 10 years. Literature reviewed were journals published on Pubmed, Elsevier, Scinapse, Plos One, and Google Schoolar. Other sources included textbooks from libraries, national and international health reports, theses and dissertations. 25 journals (national and international) were selected. The results of the study stated that Indonesia is included in the three High Burden Countries (HBC) indicators which explain that TB cases in Indonesia are high, both from the number of active TB cases, the prevalence of TB cases with HIV and TB cases with Multidrug Resistant. Indonesia is among 22 countries that account for approximately 80% of all new TB cases each year. Therefore, efforts are needed to reduce TB cases in the community, both active TB cases, TB cases with HIV and TB cases with MDR-TB. Efforts can be made with the Active Case Finding (ACF) TB method in the community, one of which is by using the expert gene method. The discovery of active TB cases in the community will break the chain of TB transmission, but this ACF cannot run optimally if it does not involve all elements, especially in the surrounding environment, so it is necessary to increase IEC related to TB, one of which is by utilizing local keraifan-based communication media. With the increase in IEC, knowledge will also increase. Based on the study conducted, it is concluded that the utilization of local wisdom-based IEC is expected to increase the number of ACF in the community.
