Abstract

Indonesia still holds the 2nd place in terms of the number of TB patients in the world. The prevalence of pulmonary TB in prisons is estimated to be 3 times higher than the general population. According to the report from the Department of Law and Human Rights of Sumatera Utara Province, from 2009 to 2011, the number of new pulmonary TB cases among the residents of prison/correctional facility tended to increase every year, an increase of an average of 7.2%. A research on the behavior of Warga Binaan Pemasyarakatan (WBP) is carried out to terminate the TB transmission (sputum, coughing, smoking, wearing masks, sleeping history and smoking) behavior. The type of this research is cross-sectional with the entire population of WBP in Medan and Lubuk Pakam Prison. The data collection is performed by interview using a questionnaire. The data analysis is conducted by univariate and bivariate. The results show there is a relationship of knowledge with cough behavior (p = 0.011) and wearing mask behavior (p = 0.011), there is a relationship between attitude and sleeping in one room behavior (p = 0.032). There is no relationship between knowledge and attitude with smoking behavior and throwing sputum behavior.
