Summary: Abstract: This is an action program to promote awareness of PTB prevention among FEU Hospital non-medical personnel through education, early diagnosis and prompt treatment. The existing knowledge, attitudes to TB and prevention practices of the subjects that included 32 helpers, 42 attendants and 6 x-ray technicians were initially determined. 80 out of 83 non-medical personnel were given a 15-item pre-test questionnaire (Appendix A) divided into three categories: 8 on knowledge of TB, 3 on attitude towards the disease and 4 on prevention practices. This served as the baseline data for the preparation of an educational booklet, brochure and poster about TB and as material for the conduct of small group discussions. The subjects were encouraged to avail of free x-ray examination facilitated by the research group for early identification of cases and subsequent referral to physicians. After the three-week campaign period, the same set of questions in the form of a post-test were taken by the same respondents to evaluate the changes in their behavior. The critical ratio (paired t-test) was used in the statistical analysis of post-test results where all categories showed significant differences at 0.05 level. In Summary, our study documents a significant increase in the awareness of the target population about PTB prevention. However whether this knowledge is sustainable needs further action and evaluation.
