ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused
by the bacterium Mycobacterium Tuberculosis and attacks the organs or tissues
of the human body, especially the lungs, which is caused by an imbalance
between the environment, agent and host. Factors that can cause the spread of
tuberculosis, if treatment is not carried out quickly, will cause an increase
in the number of cases of tuberculosis. The aim of this research is to analyze
the relationship between family smoking status and ventilation area with the incidence
of tuberculosis in the working area of the Banjarejo Community
Health Center, Madiun City. In this research, researchers used quantitative
research as an approach. The research method used is an analytical survey while
the type of research is Case Control. The total population was 35 tuberculosis
cases with a sample size of 52 respondents who were divided between the case
group and the control group using the Chi-Square test. The results of the study
showed that there was a significant relationship between the independent
variables of family smoking status (p-value = 0.018), ventilation area (p-value
= 0.007) with the incidence of tuberculosis in the working area of
the Banjarejo Community Health Center, Madiun
City.

INTRODUCTION
Tuberculosis
is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium Tuberculosis and
attacks the organs or tissues of the human body, especially the lungs. Every
year, this disease can claim one million lives due to infection with
tuberculosis. This has a huge impact on other people, especially the family or
surrounding community (RI Ministry of
Health, 2020).
Transmission of tuberculosis is caused by the spread of germs through
the air in the form of phlegm droplets due to stones or sneezes from
tuberculosis sufferers. In one cough or sneeze a sufferer can produce 300
splashes of phlegm. Germs that spread in the air are then inhaled by healthy
people and enter the lungs, causing infections in healthy people. Pulmonary
tuberculosis requires regular treatment for 6 months, if it is less than 6
months or incomplete then the treatment stage is repeated from the beginning
and it will take a long time to recover from this disease and can even cause
death. (RI Ministry of
Health, 2020).
In East Java, there were 42,560 cases of tuberculosis in 2021, 42,922
cases in 2020, and 78,799 cases in 2022. Because most tuberculosis patients are
between 15 and 64 years old, community recovery and comprehensive treatment of
the disease can be carried out. can increase their productivity and enable them
to lead a normal life in society (East Java Provincial
Health Service, 2022).
Based on the 2021 Madiun City Health Profile,
the Banjarejo Community Health Center
work area has the highest number of tuberculosis cases, namely 26 cases in
2021, 22 cases in 2020, and 33 cases in 2019. Even though in 2020 there was a
decrease of 11 cases. with a percentage of 4.9% compared to the previous year,
but in 2021 there will be an additional 4 cases of tuberculosis or a percentage
of 10% (Madiun City PP and
Family Planning Health Service, 2022). Meanwhile, in 2023,
based on medical record data at the Banjarejo
Community Health Center, there will be 35 cases of
tuberculosis.
According to John Gordon's epidemiological triangle idea, an imbalance
of host, agent, and environmental factors impacts the disease state. Likewise,
pulmonary tuberculosis is caused by an imbalance between the environment, agent
and host. Pulmonary tuberculosis host variables include the host, such as
smoking status in the family.
Environmental changes that facilitate the spread of Mycobacterium
tuberculosis agents. This bacterium is a straight or slightly curved rod
measuring 0.2 to 0.4 x 1.4 cm and can cause tuberculosis. These bacteria can
survive for 20–30 hours in phlegm and 8–10 days in droplets.
Meanwhile, regarding
environmental factors, one of the factors that causes tuberculosis is the
condition of the home environment. Environmental factors in a house have an impact on
the spread and transmission of Mycobacterium TB. People who live in damp, dark,
and unventilated homes are more susceptible to the spread of Mycobacterium
tuberculosis (Najiyah, 2022).
Based on research (Musdalifa, 2022)which states that the
smoking status factor has a close relationship with the incidence of
tuberculosis with valuep value = 0.019. According to
researchers, there is a relationship between smoking status and education,
where someone with low education tends to smoke and increases the risk of
developing pulmonary TB.
Meanwhile, regarding
environmental factors, one of the factors that causes tuberculosis is the
condition of the home environment. Environmental factors in a house have an impact on
the spread and transmission of Mycobacterium TB. People who live in damp, dark,
and unventilated homes are more susceptible to the spread of Mycobacterium
tuberculosis. Based on research results(Rosyid, 2023)in 2022, which is
located in the working area of the Banjarejo
Community Health Center, Madiun
City, the condition of the physical environment of the house which is one of
the causes of the spread of tuberculosis in the Banjarejo
Community Health Center area is the ventilation area
that does not meet the requirements with a percentage of 53.%.
Based on the description above, this is the background
for conducting research on "The relationship between family smoking status
and ventilation area with the incidence of tuberculosis in the working area of
the Banjarejo Health Center, Madiun City.

Discussion
1.
The Relationship between Family Smoking Status and the Incidence of
Tuberculosis in the Working Area of the Banjarejo
Community Health Center, Madiun
City
Based on the results
of the univariate analysis that has been carried out, it can be concluded that
the frequency distribution between smoking status and the incidence of
tuberculosis in the working area of the Banjarejo
Community Health Center, Madiun
City is dominated by respondents with smoking status, totaling
35 respondents, both cases and controls, with a percentage of 67.3%. Meanwhile,
there were 17 respondents with non-smoking status, both cases and controls,
with a percentage of 32.7%.
Meanwhile, based on the results of bivariate analysis
using the Chi-Square test which was used to determine the relationship between
smoking status variables and the incidence of tuberculosis in the working area
of the Banjarejo Health Center, Madiun City, the results
showed that in the case group of respondents with a family history of smoking
status there were 22 respondents with a percentage of 84. 6%, and those with no
family history of smoking status were 4 respondents with a percentage of 15.4%. Meanwhile, in the control group with family smoking status there were
13 respondents with a percentage of 50% and there were 13 respondents with
non-smoking status with a percentage of 50%.
So, based on the
calculation results, the p-value = 0.018 (p < 0.05) is obtained, which means
that there is a relationship between smoking status and the incidence of
tuberculosis in the working area of the Banjarejo
Health Center, Madiun City.
According to
Giacomo's theory, smoking is an important risk factor for cardiovascular
disease, and is often the main cause of death worldwide related to
cerebrovascular disease, lower respiratory tract infections, COPD, pulmonary TB
and respiratory tract cancer. The respiratory epithelium is the main barrier
against harmful environmental agents and protects by sweeping particles out in
the mucus layer, phagocytizing and recruiting other immune cells. Smoking can
directly compromise physical barrier integration, increase respiratory
epithelial permeability and impair muccociliary
clearance (Giacomo M, et
al, 2011).
Smoking is an
important factor that can reduce the body's immune system so that it can affect
the recovery of treatment for tuberculosis sufferers. People who smoke are more
at risk of suffering from tuberculosis because of the toxic content such as tar
that is inhaled from cigarette smoke (Fitriani,
2014).
This smoking
status consists of the smoking category and smoking habits. According to (Adin, 2016) The category of
smokers is divided into passive smokers and active smokers. Passive and active
smoking both have a bad impact on health. Cigarette smoke is very dangerous
because cigarette smoke exhaled by active smokers and inhaled by passive
smokers contains five times more carbon monoxide, four times more tar and
nicotine.
Apart from that, bad
smoking habits can also influence the smoking history in the family. According
to (Suparyanto and Rosad,
2020), a person's smoking habit can be seen from the number
of cigarettes smoked in one day and the length of time they consume cigarettes.
The more cigarettes you smoke in one day, the more dangerous it will be for the
body because the substances contained in cigarettes are cumulative
(accumulated). And the longer someone consumes cigarettes, the more difficult
it is to stop consuming cigarettes.
This research
is in line with (Musdalifa,
2022) which suggests
that there is a relationship between smoking status and the incidence of
pulmonary tuberculosis in productive age in South Sumatra Province with a
p-value = 0.019 < 0.05, this study explains that the large number of
cigarettes consumed can be a factor in contracting tuberculosis. The results of
this study are also in line with(Away, 2021)which suggests that
there is a relationship between smoking status and the incidence of pulmonary
TB at the Sikumana Community Health Center, Kupang City with a
p-value = 0.037 < 0.05, in this study it is explained that someone with an
active smoking status can be at risk of developing tuberculosis.
Based on the
results of research conducted by researchers, it is stated that there is a
relationship between smoking status and the incidence of tuberculosis in the
working area of the Banjarejo Community
Health Center, Madiun City with a value of OR = 5,500
which explains that smoking status in the family can be a factor in contracting
tuberculosis because in this study, Researchers examined active and passive
smokers in the family and surrounding environment. Smoking habits and the
number of cigarettes consumed can also be a factor in the occurrence of
tuberculosis.
2.
The Relationship between Ventilation Extent and the Incidence of
Tuberculosis in the Banjarejo Community Health Center Working Area
Based on the results
of the univariate analysis that has been carried out, it can be concluded that
the frequency distribution between ventilation area and the incidence of
tuberculosis in the working area of the Banjarejo
Community Health Center, Madiun
City is dominated by respondents with ventilation area that does not meet the
requirements, totaling 41 respondents, both cases and
controls, with a percentage of 78. 8%. Meanwhile, there were 11 respondents
with adequate ventilation area, both cases and controls, with a percentage of
21.2%.
Meanwhile, based on
the results of bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test which was used to
determine the relationship between the variable ventilation area and the
incidence of tuberculosis in the working area of the Banjarejo Community Health Center,
Madiun City, the results showed that in the case
group of respondents whose ventilation area did not meet the requirements,
there were 25 respondents with a percentage of 96 .2%, and respondents with
adequate ventilation area were 1 respondent with a percentage of 3.8%.
Meanwhile, in the control group, there were 16 respondents whose ventilation
area did not meet the requirements, with a percentage of 61.5%, and there were
10 respondents whose ventilation area met the requirements, with a percentage of
38.5%. So based on the calculation results, the p-value = 0.007 (p < 0.05)
is obtained, which means that there is a relationship between the ventilation
area and the incidence of tuberculosis in the working area of the
Banjarejo Health Center, Madiun City.
Ventilation functions as a place for air exchange in a
room to keep the air flow in the room fresh. According to (Ministry of Health, 2023) namely the
ventilation area that covers 10% - 15% of the floor area. Therefore, a healthy
home environment must receive sufficient sunlight and have adequate
ventilation.
Meanwhile, according
to (Saputri, 2022) which refers to the Health Service's 2007 Healthy Home
Assessment Technical Guidelines so that the indoor air is fresh, the technical
requirements for ventilation and windows are that ventilation holes remain at a
minimum of 5% of the floor area and the incidental ventilation area (can be
opened and closed) is a minimum of 5% of the floor area, The minimum window
height is 80 cm from the floor, the air that enters is clean air, and the air
flow is ensured not to be obstructed by household furniture.
This research is in
line with (Khairani et al.,
2020) which states that there is a relationship between the
area of house ventilation and the incidence of pulmonary TB in
adult patients visiting the Karang Jaya Community Health Center,
North Muisi Rawas Regency
with a p-value = 0.027 < 0.05, in this study it states that poor ventilation
area can be a factor contracted tuberculosis. The results of this study are
also in line with (Sahadewa,
2019) which also
explained that there was a relationship between ventilation and risk factors
for the incidence of BTA pulmonary TB in Jatikalang
Village, Krian District, Sidoarjo
Regency with p-value = 0.006 < 0.05, in this study it was stated that poor
ventilation could be a factor in contracting tuberculosis.
Based on the
results of research conducted by researchers, it is stated that there is a
relationship between ventilation area and the incidence of tuberculosis in the
working area of the Banjarejo Health
Center, Madiun City with an OR value = 15.625, which
shows that respondents with poor ventilation area are at 15.625 greater risk of
contracting tuberculosis compared to respondents with poor ventilation. has
good ventilation area.
Poor
ventilation in the respondent's house was caused by the narrow area of
the house and the rooms being close to each other, making it
impossible to provide ventilation in the room where they gathered. The
respondent's home area is also a densely populated area so that the space
between houses does not have a large enough area. Apart from that, poor
ventilation can also be caused by ventilation that is not opened or cannot
provide access for air in and out, only as a source of natural lighting.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results of research on the
relationship between family smoking status and ventilation area with the
incidence of tuberculosis in the work area of the Banjarejo Community Health Center,
Madiun City, it can be concluded that the majority of
respondents have a history of family smoking status and ventilation area that
does not meet the requirements. This research shows that there is a
relationship between family smoking status and ventilation area with the
incidence of tuberculosis in the area. As a suggestion, for the Banjarejo Community Health Center,
health workers are advised to provide education about the dangers of smoking,
keeping the house clean, and the importance of opening and closing windows
regularly. For Stikes Bhakti Husada Mulia Madiun, it is hoped that the results of this research will
become study material for future researchers and become a reference regarding
tuberculosis. For the public, it is recommended to pay attention to the
physical condition of the house, especially ventilation, by regularly opening
windows to let sunlight in, which will help reduce humidity and prevent the
spread of tuberculosis.
