Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) patients suffer physically and bear the economic burden as many patients cannot work or generate income when ill. Concerning this issue, health communication plays a role in addressing the economic impact through advocacy strategies. This study aims to analyze how the economic impact and health communication advocacy conducted by Aisyiyah and Terjang NGOs contribute to TB patients' economic recovery in Bandung. This research adopts a cross-sectional approach involving data collection at a specific point in time. The findings indicate that the average percentage of patients who are the primary breadwinners of the family is 44.33%, patients who have lost their jobs is 82.33%, patients with loans is 38.67%, patients selling property is 55.67%, patients receiving government assistance is 68.33%, patients receiving assistance from private institutions is 21%, patients receiving assistance from family is 78%, and the median value of aid in the last three months is 21.83 USD. Aisyiyah and Terjang provide information on treatment costs, skills training, access to social support programs, and awareness of stigma and discrimination among TB patients. Terjang also provides legal assistance to patients who experience discrimination. This health communication advocacy can enhance social and economic support for TB patients and their families.

卫生传播在印度尼西亚结核病患者经济复苏中的经济影响和作用

结核病患者承受着身体上的痛苦和经济上的负担，因为许多患者在生病时无法工作或产生收入。关于这一问题，卫生传播通过宣传战略在解决经济影响方面发挥了作用。本研究旨在分析Aisyiyah和Terjang非政府组织的经济影响和健康传播倡导如何有助于万隆市结核病患者的经济恢复。本研究采用横断面方法，在特定时间点收集数据。结果表明:家庭主要经济来源比例平均为44.33%，失业比例为82.33%，贷款比例为38.67%，变卖房产比例为55.67%，接受政府救助比例为68.33%，接受私立机构救助比例为21%，接受家庭救助比例为78%，近3个月的救助中位数为21.83美元。Aisyiyah和Terjang提供了有关治疗费用、技能培训、获得社会支持计划以及结核病患者对耻辱和歧视的认识的信息。Terjang还为遭受歧视的患者提供法律援助。这种卫生宣传可以加强对结核病患者及其家属的社会和经济支持。
