EVALUATION OF NATIONAL INDICATORS FOR HEALTH CENTER QUALITY: SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF TB PATIENTS IN ALL DRUG SENSITIVE (SO) CASES AT KOLONO HEALTH CENTER SOUTH KONAWE DISTRICT

Abstract

The background: Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest TB cases, in 2023 there will be 808 thousand cases of drug-sensitive tuberculosis (TB) recorded and around 88 percent will start treatment. Based on data from the South Konawe Regency TB Information System (SITB) in 2023, there were 534 cases of TB with 526 cases of treatment status according to standards and 8 cases of non-standard treatment status. Objective: This study aims to determine the number of successful treatments for Tuberculosis (TB) patients with all drug sensitive (SO) cases at the Kolono Community Health Center, South Konawe Regency from January to June 2024. Method: The research is a qualitative study with a case study approach. National Quality Indicators (INM) focuses on indicators of successful treatment of Tuberculosis (TB) patients in all drug sensitive (SO) cases at the Kolono Community Health Center. Research data collection was carried out on 5 August 2024 - 10 August 2024. Primary data was obtained from in-depth interviews with three Community Health Center officers, while secondary data was taken from the results of quality measurements in the Health Facilities Quality Application regarding Indicators of Treatment Success for Drug-sensitive Tuberculosis (TB) Patients (SO) . Results: The results of this study show that treatment of SO TB patients at the Kolono Community Health Center was not successful. This is caused by infrastructure factors in the form of inadequate or non-standard microscopes and no materials for re-examination of sputum. So it can be said that efforts to improve the quality of successful treatment for TB patients can be seen from the flow of treatment from the time the patient is declared positive through bacteriological or TCM examination until the patient is declared cured and complete treatment is not fulfilled.  Conclusion: Treatment of SO TB patients at the Kolono Community Health Center was unsuccessful.
