“…The patient and family respondents were more aware about the causes, clinical presentation, treatment, and mode of treatment of tuberculosis than the community. The family provides physical and psychological support to make sure that the TB treatment is successful (Kristinawati, 2019). The patient's family is the primary caregiver, and they frequently accompany the tuberculosis patient to the health center to learn something from the staff, giving them more access to a source of information about the disease that they can share to others (Sukumani et al, 2012).…”

Background: Social stigma and awareness are frequently associated with the low rate of clinical diagnosis, case detection, and successful treatment of patients with Tuberculosis (TB). In the Philippines, however, there have been few studies on TB stigma and awareness. Objective: The purpose of this study is to look into the level of social stigma and awareness about tuberculosis among patients, their relatives, and the community in a municipality in the southern Philippines. Methods: An institution-based survey was conducted among 244 participants from various Regional Health Units (RHU) to assess social stigma and awareness of the deadly disease. Participants were divided into three groups: patients diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB), family members of the patients, and community members. The researcher used an exploratory sequential mixed method design to get a deep understanding of the statistical relationships between the variables and their context, collecting quantitative data first and then qualitative data. Results: The findings revealed that the patient and the patient's relatives were more aware of the causes, clinical presentation, treatment, and mode of treatment of tuberculosis than members of the community, with a general mean of 1.60. This is attributed to the family's role as the primary caregiver, as well as a lack of general information and advertising about TB in the community. On the other hand, all three groups experienced high levels of social stigma, with a general mean of 1.90. Fear of transmission and discrimination were identified as the primary reasons. There is no significant relationship found between respondents' level of awareness and social stigma, which can be interpreted to mean that the stigma persists regardless of awareness. Conclusion: The study reveals that general awareness of TB among community members stems from rumour and gossip rather than legitimate sources. As a result, the patient's and family members' social stigma remains high, which can contribute to unsuccessful case detection and treatment. It is thus recommended that policymakers strengthen programmes aimed at identifying and addressing the problems that lead to stigma.

“…Unmarried persons might be living in single-person households. Family support is an important part of TB treatment and can help lead to favorable treatment outcomes and healthy physical and psychological conditions [ 30 , 31 ]. This suggests that social support for the unmarried should be attained outside of the family.…”

Background Although several studies have reported an association between tuberculosis and health-related quality of life, the change in health-related quality of life after pulmonary tuberculosis has been rarely studied. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of past history of pulmonary tuberculosis on health-related quality of life using a nationwide, cross-sectional, observational study in Korea. Methods Among 72,751 people selected using a stratified multi-stage sampling method, 7260 Korean participants were included using propensity score matching. Past history of pulmonary tuberculosis was defined as a previous diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis excluding patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis. The primary outcome, health-related quality of life, was assessed by EQ-5D disutility. Results Before matching, the mean EQ-5D of individuals with pulmonary tuberculosis history was lower (0.066 vs. 0.056, p: 0.009). However, the difference was nullified after matching (0.066 vs. 0.062, p = 0.354). In multivariable Poisson regression analysis, EQ-5D disutility score was not associated with past pulmonary tuberculosis history. In subgroup analysis, past pulmonary tuberculosis history increased odds of low health-related quality of life in young (odds ratio [OR] 1.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.17–2.11, p = 0.003), unmarried (OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.05–3.73, p = 0.036), or separated patients (OR 1.30, 95% CI 1.02–1.66, p = 0.032). Age and marital status were modulating factors on the effect of past pulmonary tuberculosis history on health-related quality of life. Conclusions There was no difference in health-related quality of life between individuals with and without past pulmonary tuberculosis history. Young and unmarried groups had increased odds for low health-related quality of life after pulmonary tuberculosis due to modulating effects of age and marital status.

“…Family is the leading health care unit in improvement health status and has the function of providing health care aims to maintain health conditions family members (Kristinawati et al, 2020). Family support is one of the factors that influence a person's adherence to pulmonary TB treatment by always reminding patients to take medication regularly (regularly in hours or days), providing good care during the patient's treatment process, providing understanding and encouragement to remain patient, diligent and regular in caring (Sukartini et al, 2020).…”

The number of samples of 50 respondents used purposive sampling technique. The independent variables were family support, health worker support. The dependent variable was medication adherence. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman rho test with a significance level of α <0.05.Result: It was found that there was a relationship between family support (p = 0.001) and support from health workers (p = 0.001) with adherence to taking medication in TB patients at TB health centers.Conclusion: Adherence to taking medication is related to family support and support from health workers. In providing interventions regarding adherence to taking medication for TB patients, it is expected that they can pay attention to the functions of the family and health workers so that the intervention can run optimally and the prevalence of TB decreases.
