Results: Video media psychoeducation significantly affected anxiety levels (p = 0.00) and increased self efficacy (p = 0,000). Discussion: Video media psychoeducation has positive benefits for overcoming the problem of anxiety and self-efficacy of tuberculosis patients. Video media psychoeducation is able to provide information and anxiety management in the form of deep breathing relaxation techniques through audio visual to clarify the presentation of the message so as not to be too verbalistic.
