ABSTRACT
Compliance with taking anti-tuberculosis drugs is the main aspect in carrying out the program. One of the factors that can affect adherence to treatment is by providing family support to TB patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between family support and adherence to taking anti-tuberculosis drugs in the Ciamis Health Center Work Area. The design of the study used correlation analysis. Populations in this study were patients with pulmonary TB disease in the Ciamis Community Health Center Working Area as many as 81 people and the study sample used total sampling. Data collection techniques used were questionnaires and observations. The results showed the level of adherence to taking anti-tuberculosis drugs in the work area of Ciamis Health Center. Based on the analysis using the chi square test, the calculated = 1.550. Then the value is interpreted by comparing the price of the chi square criticism with a table with df = 2 in the 95% confidence interval (5% significance level is 5.990 or calculated <from the table, this shows that the hypothesis is validated, meaning there is a relationship between family support and adherence to taking anti-tuberculosis drugs.
Suggestions For further researchers, it is hoped that further research on self-motivation can be carried out due to family support that lacks a high level of adherence and examines other factors that can improve the adherence of TB patients in taking medication.
