This research is observational analysis using cross-sectional study. There were 103 patients chosen by incidental sampling. Data collection about knowledge was obtained through questionnaires containing 13 questions, while one about belief used a questionnaire containing 30 valid and reliable questions. Adherence was measured by the pill count method. The relationship between knowledge and belief to adherence was analyzed using logistic regression test. The relationship between demography and adherence was analyzed using Spearman correlation test with α = 0.05. The result of this research shows that most patients had sufficient knowledge (57,2%), sufficient belief (69,9%) and adherence (55,3%). There was a significant relationship between knowledge with adherence in the use of antibiotics (p = 0.011) and a significant relationship between belief and adherence in the use of antibiotics (p = 0.046). In terms of belief, perceived benefits have a significant effect on adherence.
