One of the factors that influence compliance is individual motivation. There are still many pulmonary tuberculosis patients who do not wear masks, this can have an impact on disease transmission. Poor individual motivation can affect someone's compliance. The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship of patient motivation regarding prevention of transmission with adherence to the use of masks in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Rambipuji Health Center, Jember Regency. This research uses descriptive correlative type of research. In this study using a cross-sectional approach. The sample of this study was taken using simple random sampling, namely pulmonary tuberculosis patients at the Rambipuji Health Center in Jember Regency, totaling 105 patients but only 50 patients were used as samples. This research was conducted by giving a questionnaire to pulmonary tuberculosis patients to find out the patient's motivation about preventing transmission by adhering to the use of masks. The results of the study were analyzed using the Lambda Correlation Test, the results of the analysis found that the motivation of patients was good motivation (22%), patient motivation was sufficient (56%), and patient motivation was less motivation (22%). Whereas adherence to the use of masks in pulmonary tuberculosis patients is compliant (36%), and non-compliant (64%). The Lambda Correlation Test results obtained from the variable compliance with ρ = 0.389 positive direction with a value of ρ count of 0.027 <0.05 which means there is a relationship between patient motivation about prevention of transmission with compliance with the use of masks in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Rambipuji Health Center, Jember District. It is recommended that further studies be able to conduct more in-depth research related to the relationship of patient motivation regarding the prevention of transmission with adherence to the use of masks in pulmonary tuberculosis patients

The variety of tissue cells express receptors of vitamin D. The possible causative connection between lack of vitamin D and a number of inflammatory diseases such as bronchial asthma has stimulated interest in the potentially positive effects of vitamin D in the theraputic schemes. Conflicting data was demonstrated by numerous studies concerning the relationship of vitamin D and development of asthma . Most of them stress attention on the lack of studies with targeting population excluding subclasters and phenotypes of bronchial asthma, especially groups associated with low levels of vitamin D obesity, COPD and asthma, atopic patients. The question of prescribing of vitamin D in asthma, in the case of laboratory-proven deficiency or lack of vitamin D can be an option in therapy.

Introduction: Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) appears to lead in the worldwide unending battle of health problems. This study sought to determine the relationship of perceived susceptibility and threats to Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) prevention practices as moderated by cultural beliefs. Methods: Descriptive evaluative and correlational research designs were utilized. The study employed 393 respondents (20-55 years old) from five provinces in Indonesia with the highest incidence of PTB, selected through the multi-stage and purposive sampling technique. The data analyzed through the SPSS program, utilized statistical methods: Mean and Standard Deviation, Correlation Analysis, and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) using AMOS. Results: The respondents had high perceived susceptibility and threats (mean = .755, SD = .421), and practiced the PTB prevention sometimes (mean = 3.347 and SD = .826). This implies that Indonesian adults understand that certain conditions and practices would lead them or put them at risk to be infected with PTB. Perceived susceptibility and threats have a positive weak significant correlation (r = .320̽ ̽, ρ = .000) with PTB prevention practices. The higher the perceived susceptibility and threats, the better is the PTB prevention practices. The perceived susceptibility and threats has influenced over their prevention practices.  Cultural beliefs have a moderating role (estimate value of - .053, ρ = .000) in the relationship of perceived susceptibility and threats to PTB prevention practices.  The stronger the respondents hold on to their cultural beliefs, the weaker is the impact of perceived susceptibility and threats. Discussion: Further study from other provinces that excluded in this study and on another specific culture related to PTB prevention practices with a comparison of different population groups (urban and rural), and with a bigger sample size. Also, may employ a qualitative research method to explore in depth understanding of the phenomenon.

Pulmonary tuberculosis (pulmonary tuberculosis) is the third cause of death after cardiovascular and respiratory tract diseases. The factors that cause pulmonary tuberculosis include low income, economically low nutritional quality of the community, poor physical condition of the house (including air quality in the house), as well as the risk of divorce from pulmonary tuberculosis patients. This study aims to determine the relationship of physical risk conditions of the house. Pulmonary TB patients Population and sample of this study 80 respondents in June 3 to August 2018 with the sample ascentental method. As a result of this study there is a relationship between the physical condition of the house with Pulmonary TB that there is a significant relationship between Physical House with Patients with Pulmonary TB. This is evidenced by the value of P - value> 0.05 which is 1.120 with OR: 0.346 and 85% CI: 0.075 - 1.409. And for the risk of divorce with pulmonary tuberculosis there is no meaningful relationship between divorce and patients with pulmonary TB. This is evidenced by the P value - value> 0.05 which is 0.120 with OR: 0.326 and 95% CI: 0.075 - 1.409. Conclusion This paper is a physical home code such as occupancy density, ventilation and kitchen room temperature can be the occurrence of pulmonary Tb so recommended to improve the condition of the house and treatment of patients as early as possible until the patient is cured and for the risk of divorce there is no relationship with pulmonary tuberculosis the couple accept the state of being, but the need for promotional measures to provide a picture of a healthy home condition and divorce is not a solution for TB sufferers Lungs.    Keywords: pulmonary tuberculosis, state of the home condition, risk of divorce

Pulmonary TB patients often do not have the habit of closing the mouth when coughing, it certainly can make the transmission of pulmonary TB in healthy persons in the vicinity. This study aims to analyze the relationship of pulmonary TB patient perceptions about prevention of transmission of pulmonary tuberculosis with pulmonary TB prevention efforts. The design used in this study is an analytic correlation with cross sectional. This study uses total sampling so that the sample is 22 respondents. Independent variable in this study is the perception of pulmonary tuberculosis patients on prevention of transmission and the dependent variable is the prevention of pulmonary TB transmission. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using cross tabulation. The results showed the majority of respondents had a negative perception take steps to prevent transmission of pulmonary tuberculosis with unfavorable by 10 respondents (83.3%). Results of cross-tabulation showed there is a relationship between the perception of pulmonary tuberculosis patients on prevention of transmission to the prevention of pulmonary TB transmission. The more positive perception of the better prevention was done, and vice versa. In order for pulmonary tuberculosis prevention efforts well underway, much needed positive perception about the prevention of pulmonary TB transmission.
