Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem in Indonesia. Despite the implementation of national TB control programs through the Directly Observed Treatment Shortcourse (DOTS) strategy, treatment success continues to face significant challenges, particularly related to patient adherence to anti-tuberculosis drug (ATD) therapy. Non-adherence to TB treatment can lead to treatment failure, disease relapse, and the development of drug-resistant tuberculosis, thereby increasing the overall burden of the disease.Treatment adherence in TB patients is influenced not only by medical factors but also by social and behavioral determinants. Family support plays a crucial role in encouraging patients to comply with treatment regimens by providing motivation, reminding medication schedules, and offering emotional support throughout the long duration of therapy. Patients who receive adequate family support tend to demonstrate higher levels of treatment adherence compared to those with limited support.In addition, the use of herbal medicine as a preventive and supportive health measure is common among the Indonesian population. Herbal medicine is often utilized to enhance immune function, reduce medication side effects, and improve patient comfort during TB treatment. However, the use of herbal remedies without proper medical guidance may lead to misconceptions regarding standard TB therapy.Therefore, it is important to examine the relationship between family support and the use of herbal medicine as preventive measures with treatment adherence among pulmonary TB patients in primary healthcare settings. Such evidence is expected to support a comprehensive family medicine approach and strengthen TB control programs in primary care services.

Abstract

The use of herbal medicine in Indonesia continues to increase alongside growing public interest in traditional healthcare practices. However, inadequate knowledge regarding the appropriate use of herbal products may result in irrational practices, including improper indications, incorrect dosages, and potential interactions with conventional medicines. Adolescents are an important target group for early health education to promote informed and responsible decisions regarding herbal use. This community service program aimed to enhance herbal literacy by educating students at Abdurrab Islamic School Senior High School on the safe and appropriate use of herbal medicine. The activity was conducted on 9 May 2026 and involved 40 students through interactive lectures, educational media presentations, group discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. The educational materials covered the definition of herbal medicine, its benefits and limitations, safe use principles, possible adverse effects, herb–drug interactions, and the importance of obtaining information from reliable sources. The program was well received, with participants actively engaging throughout the sessions and demonstrating improved understanding of evidence-based and safe herbal use. The interactive discussions also enhanced students’ ability to critically evaluate health information related to herbal products. This educational intervention is expected to encourage healthier behaviors and strengthen adolescents’ awareness of the rational, safe, and responsible use of herbal medicine in daily life.
