Abstract

Tuberculosis is a cause of death in developing countries in the world and Indonesia is one of the countries with the most TB sufferers. One of the districts in North Sumatra that has the highest positive pulmonary tuberculosis cases is Binjai and Binjai Timur is one of the sub districts in this city. The study aims to determine the determinant of positive pulmonary tuberculosis in the working area of Tanah Tinggi Public Health Center in 2018. The type of research is observational analytic with Case Control design. The number of samples is 35 cases and 35 controls. Sampling with non-probability sampling method is based on secondary data sequence from medical records that required the criteria. Data analysis was performed univariate, bivariate with Chi-Square Test, and multivariate with Logistic Regression Test. The bivariate analysis showed the p value of each variable, namely: occupancy density with p value= 0.004; ventilation with p value= 0.001; type of floor with p value= 0.356; knowledge with p value= 0.015; attitude with p value= 0.039; and actions with p value= 0,000. The multivariate analysis showed that the most dominant variable affecting the incidence of positive pulmonary TB was action with OR= 43.375 (95% CI = 4.967 - 378,777). It is recommended for health workers at Tanah Tinggi Public Health Center to increase their knowledge, experience, and public health actions so that the community avoids various environmental-based diseases such as pulmonary TB.
