Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is the major global health problem. A high number of tuberculosis cases are as a result of the disease spreads through droplet nuclei which mainly through a cough. Transmission prevention of tuberculosis is important to lower the rate of new infection. Since the transmission is through a cough, therefore, one of the preventive behaviors is by implementing the good and right cough etiquette.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to find out the overview of knowledge, attitude and practice of cough etiquette in patients with tuberculosis.

Methods: This study was descriptive quantitative with the cross-sectional approach. The population were all patients with Acid-Fast Bacillus (AFB) and tuberculosis registered in Community Health Centers of Rancaekek, Linggar and Nanjung Mekar in Bandung, Indonesia. A total sampling was used with a total number of 52 patients. Data on knowledge, attitude, and practice were measured via validated questionnaires and observation sheets. Frequency distribution, mean and median were used for data analysis.

Results: Of the total respondents, 65.4% of the respondents had good knowledge about cough etiquette (median value 83.33 and IQR 20), 50.9% had negative cough etiquette attitude (mean value 47.87 and SD 5.885), and 63.5% had bad practice in cough etiquette (median value 5 and IQR 2).
