Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) declares Tuberculosis (TB) as a very important and serious public health problem throughout the world and is a disease that causes a global because in most countries in the world pulmonary TB disease is uncontrolled, this is caused by the number of patients who are not successfully cured, as well as the main cause of death caused by infectious diseases. Environmental health includes all physical, chemical, and biological factors from outside the body from environmental health that has the potential to have a health effect. Home environmental factors (ventilation area, occupancy density, lighting intensity, floor type, house humidity, and temperature) become the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis. The objective of present study is knowing the relationship between home environmental factors (house building materials, lighting, residential density) on the incidence of tuberculosis. This research used a correlation analytic research method with a case-control approach, totalling 40 respondents. From the research results obtained the results, there was no significant relationship between house building materials and the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis, there was a significant relationship between home lighting and the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis, and There was no significant relationship between the density of housing and the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Implication as a material for developing community nurse programs in screening people at risk for TB disease so that the tuberculosis control process can be maximized.
