Abstract :
Hepatitis B is a disease caused by hepatitis B virus infection and causes liver
inflammation, and it can also result in chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and
hepatocellular carcinoma. The results of Riskesdas in 2013 showed that hepatitis
prevalence in Indonesia in 2013 by 1,2% increased twice compared to Riskesdas in
2007, which amounted to 0,6%. The most common type of hepatitis that infects the
population of Indonesia is hepatitis B by 21,8%. According to research conducted
by Ogundele et al. (2017), the prevention of any disease is proportional to
knowledge, attitudes, and practices, hence negligence that results in the
transmission of disease can be reduced by having good knowledge. Pharmaceutical
Technical Personnel is one part of the health workforce that has a role in
pharmaceutical services. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of
knowledge of Pharmaceutical Technical Personnel about hepatitis B in Sragen
Regency. This research is a type of non-experimental research by distributing
questionnaires and then analyzed descriptively about each respondent's
characteristics and analyzed for the predictor factors. A total of Pharmaceutical
Technical Workers is 123, there are 103 people (83.74%) who have a good
knowledge category, and as many as 20 people (16.26%) have a poor knowledge
category about hepatitis B, and the respondent's workplace is the most significant
predictor.
