Patient compliance in taking medication is very important, this aims to control the number of TB cases.

This type of research is quantitative with a descriptive analytical research design and uses a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples in this study was 30 with a sampling technique using total sampling, the data collection tool used was a questionnaire with bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test. The results of the study showed that factors related to compliance in taking medication were education level p value = 0.009, knowledge level p value = 0.001, attitude p value = 0.004, family support p value = 0.004, and access to treatment p value = 0.001.
