Efektifitas Pemberian Tablet Curcuma, Putih Telur, dan Susu terhadap Asupan dan Berat Badan Pasien Tuberkulosis Dengan dan Tanpa Komorbiditas Effectiveness of Supplementation of Curcuma, Egg White, and Milk Tablets on Intake and Body Weight of Tuberculosis Patients With and Without Comorbidity

Indonesia has the second highest pulmonary TB (tuberculosis) cases after India. TB problem is included in three national health priorities in Indonesia besides stunting and immunization.  Jakarta is the province with the second largest number of pulmonary TB patients after West Java. Curcuma tablet is indicated to increase appetite. Milk and white egg as protein sources are high energy natural sources that are expected  to improve nutritional status of TB patients either with or without comorbidities. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of supplementation of curcuma, white egg and milk to energy and protein intake and weight among pulmonary TB patients with and without comorbidities in Regional General Hospital Tarakan Jakarta. A One group pre and post test design was carried out with 33 samples of pulmonary TB patients who meet inclusion criteria. Energy and protein intake were measured by food recall and food weighing. Multivariate analysis of variance (manova) was used to determine the effectiveness of supplementation of curcuma, white egg and milk to energy and protein intake and weight between pulmonary TB patients with and without comorbidities. The result showed that there was no significant difference inincreasing energy and protein intake and weight after supplementation of curcuma, white egg and milk between pulmonary TB patients with and without comorbidities (p >0.05). There is no effect of comorbidities to increase of weight, energy and protein intake among pulmonary TB patients after supplementation of curcuma, white egg and milk. Keywords : curcuma, intake, weight, pulmonary TB, comorbidities Indonesia adalah negara dengan kasus TB terbanyak kedua setelah India.Masalah TB termasuk dalam tiga prioritas kesehatan nasional disamping stunting dan imunisasi.
