MAPPING DISTRIBUTION OF RISK FACTORS OF THE EVENT OF PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS (pulmonary TB) USING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)

According to WHO data in 2018, the largest proportion of pulmonary TB cases was in the Asian region at 45%, Indonesia was the 2nd highest for pulmonary TB cases in the world after India. Based on data from the Kuningan District Health Office in 2021, the prevalence of pulmonary TB cases was 0.92% with a total of 1,389 cases. The purpose of this study was to describe the distribution of risk factors for the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis (Pulmonary TB) using a Geographic Information System (GIS) in Kuningan District 2022. This study uses a descriptive type of research with a quantitative approach. The population and sample in this study were 32 sub-districts in Kuningan Regency with a total of 1,389 cases. The sample in this study is total sampling. Data analysis in this study includes univariate analysis using SPSS application and spatial distribution using ArcGIS application. The distribution of the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis (pulmonary TB) in Kuningan Regency showed that most of them were classified as low, namely 30 sub-districts (93.8%). The distribution of high incidence of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Pulmonary TB) is found in sub-districts with high population density, PHBS coverage that has not reached the target, and coverage of healthy homes that have not reached the target, namely Kuningan District with a total of 367 cases. The distribution of the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is high in sub-districts with high population density, PHBS coverage that has not reached the target, and healthy housing coverage that has not reached the target. There is a need for more intensive program monitoring efforts by the Kuningan egency Health Office so that it can reduce the prevalence of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Pulmonary TB) incidence in Kuningan Regency.
