Model Theory of Planned Behavior to Improve Adherence to Treatment and the Quality of Life in Tuberculosis Patients
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a global public health problem and a
leading cause of death from infectious diseases. The research objective was
to determine the relationship between the theory of planned behavior,
adherence and quality of life using the path model.
Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design with 154
tuberculosis patients. The research was conducted in all community health
centers in the Buleleng, Bali. Data on subjective norms, attitudes, perceived
behavior control, intention, physical and mental HRQoL domains and
medical adherence were collected. Data were analyzed using a descriptive
and structural equation model feature using structural equation model.
Results: Most respondents have attitudes in the positive category and
subjective norms in the good category. Perceived behavior is control in the
good category, intentions in the good category and physical health in the
good category. Almost all respondents have mental health in the good
category and are married. All respondents in this study had adherence to
treatment. The influence of subjective norms on intentions (p = <0.01), the
influence of intentions on adherence (p = <0.01) and the effect of adherence
on quality of life (p = <0.01) were found.
Conclusion: Subjective norms are the most important part to influence
intention. Adequate TB treatment causes HRQoL to improve
