Knowledge and patients with pulmonary TB greatly influence the transmission of pulmonary TB disease, because if a patient coughs and sneezes, it can be transmitted to people around them through the air containing bacteria from sputum droplets. Various studies have shown that the spread of pulmonary TB is high in the community, therefore the use of health education media will help clarify the information conveyed by health workers. The problem of bad behavior in patients with pulmonary TB is still a concern, therefore it is necessary to make efforts to prevent pulmonary TB disease in the community.
