Abstract (834 Views)
Aims: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of using web-based applications and lecture methods in increasing knowledge and the ability to self-detect the risk of tuberculosis transmission.
Materials & Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental, two-group pre-test-post-test design with purposive sampling involving 120 close contacts of TB patients. The research was conducted in Jambi City, a known TB-endemic area, across five community health centers (Puskesmas). Data collection occurred from March to August 2024 through observations and questionnaire administration, with data analyzed using the analysis of covariance.
Findings: The web-based application and the lecture method effectively enhanced tuberculosis knowledge among close contacts (p<0.05). Both interventions significantly increased self-detection scores in this group; however, the web-based application demonstrated a greater mean improvement than the lecture method. This suggests that the web-based application is a more effective for enhancing TB-related knowledge and self-detection skills.
Conclusion: Both the “Sijari Manis” web-based application and the lecture method effectively enhance knowledge and self-assessment of tuberculosis transmission risk.
