An example of media that can influence the behavior of consuming tuberculosis drugs is a medication reminder tool that has been added with brief information about consuming tuberculosis drugs. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of control cards to improve the behavior of consuming tuberculosis drugs.

The sample was divided into treatment group and control group, each consisting of 30 people. The intervention group received health promotion using a control card, and the control group received a leaflet. The behavior of consuming tuberculosis drugs was measured by filling out a questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out using the Chi-Square Test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann Whitney U Test, and ANCOVA. The results of the Mann-Whitney U test showed that the behavior of consuming tuberculosis drugs in patients using control cards was better than in patients using leaflets (p value = 0.007). The results of this study also showed that there were differences in the behavior of consuming tuberculosis drugs based on gender, education, and occupation, but did not differ based on age groups.
