PERILAKU PENGGUNAAN OBAT TB PASCA DUA BULAN TERAPI

ABSTRAK
Latar belakang : Tuberkulosis (TB) merupakan penyakit menular yang memerlukan pengobatan jangka panjang sehingga kepatuhan pasien dalam mengonsumsi Obat Anti Tuberkulosis (OAT) sangat penting untuk mencapai kesembuhan dan mencegah terjadinya resistensi obat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan pengetahuan mengonsumsi OAT, dukungan keluarga, dan efek samping OAT terhadap perilaku penggunaan obat TB pasca dua bulan terapi.
Metode : Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian non-eksperimental dengan rancangan cross sectional. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 40 pasien TB pasca dua bulan terapi di Puskesmas Sukarami, Puskesmas Kenten, dan Puskesmas Talang Betutu. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji Chi-Square, dan dilanjutkan dengan regresi logistik.
Hasil : Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pengetahuan mengonsumsi OAT dan efek samping OAT berhubungan terhadap perilaku penggunaan obat TB pasca dua bulan terapi (Sig. <0,05), sedangkan dukungan keluarga tidak berhubungan (Sig.0,053). Pengetahuan Mengonsumsi OAT memiliki nilai Exp(B)= 54,484, Dukungan Keluarga Exp(B)= 11,121, dan Efek samping OAT Exp(B)= 0,064.
Kesimpulan : Perilaku penggunaan obat TB pasca dua bulan terapi di Puskesmas Sukarami, Puskesmas Kenten, dan Puskesmas Talang Betutu, sangat dipengaruhi oleh tingkat pengetahuan mengonsumsi OAT.

ABSTRAC
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that requires long-term treatment; therefore, patients' adherence to taking Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs (ATDs) is essential to achieve successful treatment outcomes and prevent the development of drug resistance. This study aimed to analyze the association between knowledge of ATD use, family support, and ATD adverse effects with medication use behavior among TB patients after two months of treatment.
Methods: This was a non-experimental study using a cross-sectional design. The study included 40 TB patients who had completed two months of treatment at Sukarami Primary Health Center, Kenten Primary Health Center, and Talang Betutu Primary Health Center. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, followed by logistic regression analysis.
Results: The results showed that knowledge of ATD use and ATD adverse effects were significantly associated with medication use behavior among TB patients after two months of treatment (p < 0.05), whereas family support was not significantly associated (p = 0.053). Logistic regression analysis showed that knowledge of ATD use had an Exp(B) value of 54.484, family support had an Exp(B) value of 11.121, and ATD adverse effects had an Exp(B) value of 0.064.
Conclusion: Medication use behavior among TB patients after two months of treatment at Sukarami, Kenten, and Talang Betutu Primary Health Centers was predominantly influenced by patients' level of knowledge regarding the use of Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs.
