Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) control efforts are not solely the responsibility of the health sector but also require the involvement of the patient’s family, who live with and accompany them on a daily basis. Families play a crucial role in caring for members affected by TB. Therefore, it is essential to provide health education to families so that their behavior can support TB control and prevention efforts.  The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of health education using booklet media on caregivers’ behavior in preventing tuberculosis among family members. The research design employed was a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The study population consisted of families of TB patients at Muara Dua Public Health Center, Lhokseumawe City. The instruments used were a booklet for the intervention and a questionnaire to assess the behavior of the study subjects. Data collection began with a pretest conducted before the intervention, followed by counseling and health education using the booklet, after which a posttest was administered to evaluate caregivers’ behavior in preventing tuberculosis. Data were analyzed using the paired t-test. he results showed that the mean knowledge score of families during the pretest was 4.16, which increased to 13.08 after receiving health education, with a mean difference of –8.921. The mean behavior score of families during the pretest was 4.05, which increased to 12.50 after the intervention, with a mean difference of –8.447. The statistical test results indicated that the p-value for both knowledge and behavior was 0.000 (< 0.05). It can thus be concluded that providing health education using a booklet significantly improves family caregivers’ knowledge and behavior regarding tuberculosis prevention.
