Abstrak

The impact of tuberculosis is not only limited to the individual level but also has a broad impact on the overall well-being of the community. Environmental factors play an important role in the transmission of TB, especially in homes that do not meet health standards. The purpose of this study is to analyze the quality of the physical environment of tuberculosis patients in the working area of the Air Tiris Health Center, Kampar Regency. This research is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The sampling method used is total sampling, with 40 tuberculosis patients as participants. Overall, of the 40 houses surveyed, only 7 houses met the standards, while the remaining 33 houses did not meet the standards, highlighting the importance of improving the physical environment conditions for tuberculosis patients to support the healing process and prevent further transmission. The researcher hopes that this study can serve as a reference for further research and can be developed by studying the relationship between the quality of the physical environment of homes and the occurrence of tuberculosis.
