Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, with approximately 1,090,000 cases reported annually. Achieving the national TB elimination target by 2030 requires optimal treatment adherence; however, medication non-adherence continues to hinder treatment success and disease control. This study aimed to identify factors influencing medication adherence among pulmonary TB patients at Puskesmas Medan Area Selatan. Methods: A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted from January to March 2025 involving pulmonary TB patients registered under the Directly Observed Treatment Short-course (DOTS) program. A total of 87 respondents were recruited using consecutive sampling based on the following inclusion criteria: confirmed pulmonary TB diagnosis, undergoing at least one month of treatment, and willingness to participate. Data were collected using structured questionnaires assessing six independent variables: patient knowledge, family support, healthcare service quality, drug side effects, the role of treatment supervisors (PMO), and socioeconomic status. Medication adherence was measured using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8). Binary logistic regression analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.0. Results: Among the respondents, 62.1% demonstrated good medication adherence. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between adherence and patient knowledge (p = 0.001; OR = 4.87; 95% CI: 1.89–12.53), family support (p = 0.003; OR = 3.94; 95% CI: 1.56–9.94), healthcare service quality (p = 0.021; OR = 2.87; 95% CI: 1.17–7.03), and drug side effects (p = 0.038; OR = 2.41; 95% CI: 1.05–5.51). Multivariate logistic regression identified patient knowledge as the most dominant factor influencing adherence (Adjusted OR = 5.12; 95% CI: 1.91–13.70; p = 0.001), followed by family support (AOR = 3.78; 95% CI: 1.43–9.98; p = 0.007). Conclusion: Patient knowledge is the strongest determinant of medication adherence among TB patients at Puskesmas Medan Area Selatan. Strengthening structured health education interventions and promoting family-centered support strategies are essential to enhance treatment adherence and accelerate progress toward Indonesia’s TB elimination target by 2030.

Abstract

The use of family planning (KB) methods by couples of childbearing age is an important step in regulating pregnancy and maintaining reproductive health. However, the successful use of family planning relies heavily on the knowledge of PUS about contraceptive methods as well as their participation in using contraceptives consistently. Lack of knowledge and proper participation can lead to unwanted pregnancies and even trigger abortions.To improve the understanding of PUS about family planning, a health education program was implemented in Kelurahan Ladang Bambu, Medan Tuntungan sub-district in 2023. This education provided information on various contraceptive methods and how to use them correctly, so that PUS can make the right decision in family planning.The results of the education activities showed an increase in PUS knowledge about contraceptives. Comparison of test results before and after the intervention showed a significant increase in knowledge by 0.37 (p<0.05). That is, there was a difference in the average pretest and posttest scores after the health education was conducted, indicating the effectiveness of the program in improving the understanding of PUS related to contraceptive methods. In conclusion, this health education program succeeded in increasing the knowledge of PUS about contraceptive methods. With better understanding, PUS can use family planning more effectively and consistently, reducing the risk of unwanted pregnancy and its implications such as abortion. This program contributes positively to family welfare and reproductive health in the community.

Breast milk is one of the perfect and best foods for babies because it contains the nutritional elements needed by babies and is very beneficial for the baby's growth and development. Breastfeeding is one way to provide the best nutrition for babies and strengthen the bond between mother and baby. Breast milk contains immune-forming antibodies which can help fight viral bacteria so that breastfed babies are at less risk of developing diseases such as: diarrhea, asthma, allergies, ear infections, respiratory tract infections, constipation, sudden infant death syndrome and meningitis. The aim of this health education for community empowerment is to increase the knowledge of TM III pregnant women about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding. The method used in this counseling is by presenting material using lecture and demonstration methods using communication media such as leaflets. The number of respondents was 12 people, carried out on October 18 2023. Pretest and posttest were carried out to evaluate the mother's knowledge before and after counseling. The results of the evaluation of mothers' knowledge before the counseling was carried out showed that 5 people (20%) were in the good category and there was an increase in mothers' knowledge to 12 people (88%) after the counseling was in the good category.
