THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS PATIENTS ON MEDICATION ADHERENCE IN THE PULMONARY POLYCLINIC OF THE ARIFIN ACHMAD REGIONAL GENERAL HOSPITAL PEKANBARU
Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by infection with the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. One of the determinants of the success of tuberculosis management is patient compliance with therapy or medication. Factors that can affect a person's level of compliance to take medication is knowledge. The existence of knowledge of the benefits of a thing will cause the patient to have a positive attitude towards it. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge of pulmonary tuberculosis patients with medication adherence in the pulmonary polyclinic of the Arifin Achmad Regional General Hospital Pekanbaru. This type of research is a quantitative research with a cross sectional approach. The number of samples is 50 people with purposive sampling technique. The statistical test used was Chi-square and obtained p value = 0.011 (p < 0.05). These statistical results indicate that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge of pulmonary tuberculosis patients and adherence to medication at the pulmonary polyclinic of the Arifin Achmad Regional General Hospital Pekanbaru. It is hoped that in the future nurses will be able to become educators in health education about TB at the Pulmonary Polyclinic in order to improve drug adherence in TB patients.
