Tuberculosis (TB) remains a communicable infectious disease and continues to pose a significant challenge to infectious disease control. Successful TB treatment is an essential component of disease control, as treatment failure may increase the risk of relapse, transmission, and drug resistance. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with successful treatment among tuberculosis patients based on TB Register data from Mabuun Community Health Center, Tabalong Regency, for the period January–July 2026. This study employed a quantitative approach with an analytical observational design and a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 38 TB patients selected using a total sampling technique. The independent variables included age, sex, employment status, case type, and patient category, while the dependent variable was treatment success. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Pearson Chi-Square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that 13 patients (34.2%) achieved successful treatment, while 25 patients (65.8%) did not. There were significant associations between employment status and treatment success (p = 0.035) and between case type and treatment success (p = 0.034). The proportion of treatment success among employed patients was 57.1%, compared with 20.8% among unemployed patients. Based on case type, the treatment success rate among patients with pulmonary TB was 43.3%, whereas it was 0.0% among patients with extrapulmonary TB. Meanwhile, age (p = 0.051), sex (p = 0.307), and patient category (p = 1.000) were not significantly associated with treatment success. It was concluded that the TB treatment success rate at Mabuun Community Health Center remains low, with employment status and case type being significantly associated factors. Strengthening monitoring and patient support should be prioritized for unemployed patients and those with extrapulmonary TB to improve TB treatment success at the primary healthcare level.
