ABSTRACT
Purpose@#This study was conducted to investigate the effect of tuberculosis-related knowledge and family support on medication adherence in tuberculosis patients. @*Methods@#The data were collected from 175 patients diagnosed with tuberculosis at three general hospitals located in two provincial cities in South Korea from September 1 to November 31, 2020. The 160 questionnaires were analyzed using IBM SPSS WIN 25.0. @*Results@#The patients’ average score for tuberculosis-related knowledge was 15.85±5.87 (out of 25), for family support it was 22.03±9.20 (out of 35), and for medication adherence it was 5.11±2.68 (out of 8). There were significant differences in tuberculosis-related knowledge, family support, and medication adherence according to patients’ general characteristics and significant positive relationships among tuberculosis-related knowledge, family support, and medication adherence. Factors affecting patients’ tuberculosis medication adherence were history of stopping the medication, the importance of treatment among tuberculosis-related knowledge and family support, and these factors could explain 78% of patients’ taking tuberculosis drugs. @*Conclusion@#It could be concluded that the importance of tuberculosis treatment and family support are very important for improving patients’ rates of medication adherence. Therefore, medical staffs caring for tuberculosis patients need to manage patients’ medication of tuberculosis drugs with continuous consultation.
