<![CDATA[ABSTRACT The high incidence of tuberculosis in the Cempaka Community Health Center’s service area indicates the need to strengthen health education strategies that involve patients, families, and health volunteers in an integrated manner. The main problem faced is low patient adherence due to limited knowledge and social support during long-term treatment. Program of Gawi Tuntas Tuberculosis aims to improve the knowledge, awareness, motivation, and treatment adherence of tuberculosis patients through a participatory educational approach based on families and community health workers. This community service activity was conducted over one month through a series of stages, including a pre-test, interactive health education sessions on the basics of pulmonary TB, TB management and treatment, strengthening the role of families as Medication Adherence Monitors (MAMs), and the distribution of educational materials such as leaflets and pocket guides. This program focused on strengthening the role of families as Medication Adherence Monitors (MAMs) and empowering community health workers to provide motivational support and monitor patients throughout the treatment process. Success was evaluated by comparing pre-test and post-test scores and through participatory observation. Program implementation yielded significant results, with an increase in knowledge regarding the recognition and management of TB in more than 85% of participants. Additionally, participants’ ability to recognize clinical symptoms improved by up to 90%, and their understanding of specific treatment management increased from an average score of 40% to 70%. This program demonstrates that community-based participatory education is effective in improving health literacy and supporting treatment adherence among tuberculosis patients.
