The study used a quantitative correlation research method with a Cross Sectional Study approach and used the Spearman test. The results of this study showed p Value = 0.000 (p <0.05) which means Ha is accepted or in other words there is a significant relationship between stigmatization and anxiety felt by tuberculosis patients. So it can be concluded that the stigma obtained from family or society causes tuberculosis sufferers to experience anxiety and will have an impact on the healing process during treatment.
