Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health problem in Indonesia, including at Puskesmas Oesapa in Kupang City. One of the challenges in TB treatment is the low adherence of patients in routinely consuming Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs (OAT). The use of a digital application such as My Therapy is expected to help patients remember their medication schedules and monitor their adherence. The objective is to analyze the effect of using the My Therapy digital application on medication adherence among Tuberculosis patients at Puskesmas Oesapa, Kota Kupang. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post- test approach. The sample consisted of 47 Tuberculosis patients who were selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. Data was collected using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) questionnaire. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed- Rank Test because the data was not normally distributed. The results showed that the average medication adherence score increased after the intervention using the My Therapy application. The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant difference in adherence levels before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The use of the My Therapy digital application is effective in improving medication adherence among Tuberculosis patients at Puskesmas Oesapa, Kota Kupang. This application is expected to be a supportive innovation in efforts to control TB in then community.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease with a high number of cases in Indonesia, including in the working area of the Sikumana Community Health Center. Low patient compliance in undergoing therapy is one of the main challenges. Families play an important role in accompanying patients, from monitoring medication intake and providing nutrition to giving emotional support. To determine the effect of implementing health care tasks through family support on tuberculosis patients at the Sikumana Community Health Center. Quantitative research with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The research sample consisted of 30 respondents who were family members of tuberculosis patients. The instruments used were a family support questionnaire covering five family health tasks and a SAP on Family Support. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: In the pretest, most families were in the adequate (53%) and poor (46.7%) categories, with none in the good or very good categories. After the intervention, the posttest results showed a significant improvement, with 60% of respondents in the good category and 20% in the very good category. The Wilcoxon test produced a p-value < 0.001, indicating a significant effect of family support on the improvement of health care tasks. Family support was proven to increase family involvement and understanding in supporting TB patient treatment. Suggestions: Family support needs to be made a sustainable strategy in primary care, with a broader sample coverage and innovative interactive educational media to increase effectiveness.
