Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease, the high incidence of tuberculosis and its impact have caused the world to pay special attention, one of which is through the target of the third issue of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), namely tackling the TB epidemic in 2030. Efforts to prevent and reduce TB incidence in Indonesia through to find, treat, and cure TB program. Approaches to finding, diagnosing, treating, and curing TB patients and stopping transmission in the community. The treatment is being carried out actively, massively, and intensively, but the problem-solving has not yet been completed, innovation is needed through the collaboration of integrated health professional organizations, to anticipate the treatment of TB independently, in the service units of private hospitals, clinics and doctors' independent practice places. This innovation is to increase the new case detection rate, and the tracking of initial lost to follow up patients.

Purpose: To analyze the effectiveness of integrated health professional organization collaboration in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis

Method: Qualitative research with descriptive and exploratory design. The source of data and information is informants from the health profession determined by purposive sampling. In-depth interview and focus group discussion interview methods. Informants are representative members of each health profession organization appointed by the organization's leadership.

Results: Health professional organizations are committed to and contribute to the well-organized treatment of TB. Integrated activity programs, increasing the discovery of new case detection rates, identification of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (DR-PTB) and drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis (DS-PTB), and active monitoring of patients initially lost to follow-up, as well as preventing independent case handling.

Conclusion: The collaboration of health professional organizations is very effective in helping the government handle Tuberculosis, has a commitment to increase the new case detection rate, identification of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (DR-PTB) and drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis (DS-PTB), and actively monitor patients who are initially Lost to follow up, which is carried out in an integrated manner.
