The Effect of Health Education with Power Point Media on Children's Knowledge About Tuberculosis Disease Prevention at the Pagambiran Health Center in Padang City

The incidence of tuberculosis in children is increasing, due to the lack of knowledge and attitude of children about tuberculosis. One of the preventive efforts that can be done to improve children's knowledge is by providing health education through power point media. This study aims to determine the effect of health education with power point media on children's knowledge. The research conducted was quantitative research using a quasi experimental design with a one group pre-test and post test approach. The population in this study were 4th and 5th grade students of SD 16 Pagambiran, Padang City with a sample size of 40 respondents. The research instrument used a questionnaire sheet. The test analysis used is wilcoxon because the data is not normally distributed. The results showed the effect of health education with power point media on children's knowledge (p<0.000). It is expected that Pagambiran Health Center, especially in health promotion activities, can use power point media in providing health education about preventing tuberculosis disease to children.
