Abstract

In Tanjungpinang, the incidence of pulmonary TB is still quite high. In 2011 as many 2,536 as suspected pulmonary TB positive cases examined and 216 as patients. In 2012 have been examined as many as 2,065 patients with chronic cough sputum specimens. The total positive from smear positive bacteria is 184 specimens. (District Health Office of Tanjungpinang, 2012). Pulmonary tuberculosis is a communicable disease which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which can live up to several hours in the dark and damp but will die when exposed to ultraviolet light. The purpose of this study is known UVC-Aromatherapy therapeutic effect against germs decreased levels of Tb in positive patients with pulmonary Tb. This research is an experimental research with pre-experimental design one group pre-test-post-test. The subjects and object of this research were positive pulmonary TB patients as cases and UVC-Aromatherapy. The analysis was conducted by the Mann-Whitney Test with a confidence level of = 0.05. The analysis can be significant difference UVC-aromatherapy treatment against impairment of the germs Tb Lung Positive Patients (p=0,026). UVC-Aromatherapy can be used as a form of treatment Positive Patients with Pulmonary Tb, which can sync yours with pulmonary Tb program in the Department of Health. Minimize dependency on the use of drugs and prevent dropouts and resistance problems.
