Abstract |
Introduction: Medication adherence is a critical factor
in the success of tuberculosis (TB) therapy. Many
factors are related to TB medication adherence among
TB patients in clinical and community services. This
study aimed to identify the factors of TB medication
adherence based on the Social-Ecological Model.
Methods: A literature review was carried out for
this study. Articles published between 2016 and
2021 in three databases were included in this study.
This study only targeted TB patients and assessed
the determinants or factors related to tuberculosis
medication adherence. Data were extracted using
the Social-Ecological Model factors consisting of
four levels: individual, relationship, community,
and societal. A total of 17 articles were enrolled
in this review.
Results: The results of the studies found that the
determinants to improve medication adherence include four-level factors, including individual, relationship, community, and societal factors, to design
the medication adherence program for tuberculosis
patients.
Conclusion: Multiple and holistic factors influence
TB medication adherence. It is crucial to assist TB
patients in overcoming the barriers that can prevent
patients from adhering to treatment. |
