Social Capital and Community Participation in the Detection of Tuberculosis Patient

Tuberculosis is an important public health problem of global, regional, national, and local levels. World health organization launched directly observed treatment short course (DOTS) and stop tuberculosis partnership strategies aiming to reach all tuberculosis patients. Both strategies have not been able to reach the case detection rate (CDR) target consistently. This research aimed to formulate a social capital and participation model in crude death rate. The target of research was the officers of tuberculosis programs and cadres in 30 villages in Karanganyar Regency, Central Java. The method used in this research was survey and case study. The result of survey research showed that the village with high social capital had 9 times probability of surpassing CDR target 3 70% than the one with low social capital and 7.5 times higher than the one with low public participation. The result of case study showed that the social capital factors relating to CDR consisted of cognitive dimension encompassing trust and sense of belonging to tuberculosis program. Relational dimension encompassed social norm, personal service implantation, cooperation, and communication. Structural dimension involved public network and association. The factors of participation relating to CDR included need identification, activating the program resource, and leadership.
