Abstract

One of the failures that be found in the pulmonary tuberculosis disease control program could be caused by the lack of health promotion that is directly obtained by individuals. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the health promotion method using posters in an effort to improve behaviour of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients and their families about prevention of tuberculosis transmission in Tuminting Health Center (Puskesmas), Manado. The study was carried out by observing 30 pulmonary TB patients who came to seek treatment at the Puskesmas Tuminting. Observations were made by conducting pre-test interviews individually related to the TB disease and its prevention. Furthermore, health promotion was carried out using posters obtained from the TB health promotion leaflet (“TOSS TB”) made by the Indonesia’ Ministry of Health. The interview was conducted once again after counseling. This study revealed that health promotion individually by using poster is very effective in increasing knowledge about TB along with its prevention. The use of poster media is very effective to improve the behaviour of TB patients in terms of prevention of transmission the disease. Media posters can be reproduced by the Health Office to be distributed to the community
