| dc.description.abstract | Tuberculosis (TB) case detection is a key indicator in TB control efforts. Medan City is one of the regions with a high TB burden and suboptimal case detection coverage. TB cadres serve as the front line in case-finding activities, making it important to identify the factors that influence their performance. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between individual characteristics (age, education level, length of service, and knowledge) and motivation with the performance of TB cadres at Yayasan Mentari Meraki Asa (YMMA) in Medan City. This research is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The population included all active TB cadres under YMMA in Medan City. The sample consisted of 40 cadres selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and secondary data, and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed significant relationship between age (p=0,005), length of service (p=0.041), knowledge (p=0.020), and motivation (p=0.020) with cadre performance. However, education level was not significantly associated with performance (p=0.894). Based on these findings, it is recommended that TB program implementers strengthen continuous cadre training, provide motivational support, and consider individual characteristics in the cadre development process to enhance the effectiveness of TB programs. | en_US |
