EFFECTIVENESS MONTASE AS TUBERCULOSIS AWARENESS PROGRAM AND ASSOCIATED CHANGES IN KNOWLEDGE LEVELS OF THE FAMILIES

The success of TB control is strongly influenced by the role and support of the family. Families who do not care, do not support treatment programs, tend to be ignorant, do not make efforts to prevent transmission in the care of family members with TB, and give negative stigma against TB disease has a negative impact on the success of TB control. One of the efforts to build and increase the role of the family in TB control is to provide education on prevention of transmission in the care of family members with TB using the Montage method. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the montage learning method in increasing knowledge about control and prevention of transmission in the care of family members with TB. This study used a quasi-experimental method with one group pre-post test design. We obtain 31 respondents with a purposive sampling technique. The intervention used is application of 3M art, namely folding, cutting and pasting pictures on paper that form pictorial stories. In this study, the average pretest value was 48.39 ± 5.536 and the posttest value was 73.23 ± 11.729, with a p-value of 0.000, which means that there was a significant difference between the knowledge before and after the intervention. Therefore, the strategy of providing education with the montage learning method needs to be integrated into the promotional program.
