PERAN KELUARGA SEBAGAI PENGAWAS MENELAN OBAT ANTI TUBERKULOSIS PADA PASIEN TB PARU KAMBUH

Abstract

Genesis tuberculosis relapse is fairly typical of those with pulmonary tuberculosis. The onset of these relapse can cause new problems because it increases the likelihood of`resistanceof`resistance from anti-tuberculosis drugs returning with stronger germs and making it more difficult to treat, medical expenses were higher and treatment success rates are lower. So the study aims to describe the role of the family in supervising the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis patients with relapse cases from December 16th, 2019 to December 23, 2019. The study used interviews and observation methods on the two supervising families who swallowed pulmonary TB patients medications by cases of relapses. The results of this study indicate that the family is optimal in playing a role as a motivator for pulmonary tuberculosis patients and as a supervisor for swallowing drugs, the family has not been optimal in carrying out its role in reminding the sputum re-examination of pulmonary tuberculosis patients with relapse cases and as a companion providing education by health workers about pulmonary tuberculosis with relapse cases. The family may play the role of PMO that watches those with lung TB take the drug regularly until the end of treatment, thus fulfilling the patient's adherence to his obedience to taking the drugs and therapy that are given goes well.
