Description
Introduction: The success of pulmonary TB treatment is still low due to lack
of patient compliance with treatment. This study aims to determine the
factors associated with treatment compliance in TB patients at the Internal
Medicine Polyclinic at Raja Ampat District Hospital.
Methods: Observational research design with a cross-sectional study
approach involving 125 tuberculosis patients seeking treatment at the
Internal Medicine Polyclinic at Raja Ampat District Hospital, the research
sample used a total sampling technique. Data collection uses a structured
questionnaire that has been prepared by researchers. Data were analyzed
using univariate, bivariate (Chi-Square test), and multivariate (Binary
Logistic Regression) analysis.
Results: The majority of TB patients adhered to treatment, out of 125
respondents, 74 people (59.2%) were included in the adherent category.
There is a significant relationship between age, education, knowledge,
attitudes, perceptions, motivation and staff support and the level of
treatment compliance. Good knowledge (AOR: 2.18; CI: 1.05-1.56; p 0.003)
and high staff support (AOR: 1.27; CI: 1.11-1.68; p 0.006) increase TB
patient treatment compliance.
Conclusion: Treatment compliance for TB patients is still below established
standards. Staff knowledge and support promote better treatment
adherence, the research results emphasize the importance of education
and improving access to services, such as visits by health workers to the
homes of TB patients.
