Notes from the field

BACKGROUND: Treatment of tuberculosis is carried out every day in the long-term, causing boredom to take medication and reducing medication adherence. Taking medication that is not routine causes drug resistance which can cause tuberculosis treatment to take longer. AIM: This study aims to review the effect of the application of drug-taking supervisors on drug adherence in tuberculosis patients. METHODS: The research design uses the preferred reporting items for systemic review and meta-analysis Guidelines with an online literature search strategy using the Google chrome search engine Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, CINAHL, and Proquest. The year of the literature source was taken from 2018 to 2022. From the articles searched, five articles were obtained and reviewed. RESULTS: The results of a review of five articles showed that video observed therapy (VOT) technology was needed to improve medication adherence in tuberculosis patients. CONCLUSION: This review shows the role of VOT technology to improve medication adherence in tuberculosis patients.
