Abstract
Background:Tuberculosa (TB) is a problem in developing countries because the rate of disease incidence is still high and is the 10th leading cause of death in the world. As TB prevalence cases increase, community participation in finding new TB cases is increasingly important. The method used by various countries is by community-based case finding or active case finding in the community (active case finding). Objective:Evaluating the implementation of the program in the discovery of new TB cases by TB officers at the health center in an effort to control TB in DIY
Method:This type of research is a basic survey. Subjects of Puskesmas staff in Yogyakarta are 121 people. The sampling technique was random sampling. The instrument used was a questionnaire containing knowledge, behavior, and types of activities. The analysis uses frequency distribution and is presented in tabular form.
Result: Puskesmas DIY staff have taken several steps in carrying out new TB case finding in the community, such as Active Case Finding, Pasive Case Finding, knock on doors, counseling, screening and screening. The level of knowledge of puskesmas officers related to the implementation of Active Case Finding is sufficient. There are obstacles in the implementation of new TB case finding, among others, time and lack of personnel, budgetary factors, and some areas that do not yet have cadres
