Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health burden, and treatment success is strongly influenced by sustained adherence supported by family caregivers. This study developed a family-based tuberculosis education module (“Empowering Families to Learn More About Tuberculosis”), assessed its content validity through expert judgment, and examined feasibility through a limited field trial. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was applied among family members accompanying TB patients. Seven experts (TB, health promotion media, and language) evaluated module feasibility using Aiken’s V, yielding an average value of 0.80. Knowledge scores significantly increased after module use (mean 12.87 to 15.32; median 15 to 16), with Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicating a significant improvement (p<0.001). The module is valid, acceptable, and practical for implementation in primary and community care settings to strengthen family support in TB care.
