Abstract :
In developing countries, 75% of TB cases are found among those with economically productive age, ranging from 15 to 50 years. One of the problems in eradicating pulmonary tuberculosis is the lower covering rate of passive case finding, in addition to treatment and resistance. It was reported that in East Java the result of covering rate of passive case finding in tuberculosis patients until the year 2003 was only 23% from the whole estimated suspected cases existing in the community. This action research was aimed to increase the covering rate of passive case finding, in which suspected patients, with their own awareness, have willingness to submit their sputum to be examined for diagnostic purpose, so that the treatment program can be followed-up. Due to the importance of the purpose, the active role of the community should be improved by increasing the awareness of the patients to search for diagnostic and curative care. By means of training with ZOPP method, an institution within the community will be formed, which can be expected to play a role in motivating the community to find TB patients passively. By the formation of such institution, working assistance can be carried out with the hope to implement the primary tasks and functions of the institution.
