The instrument used was a questionnaire to measureknowledge and attitudes, and an educational video with a duration of 15 minutes.Respondents in this study are one of the family members who are the main responsiblefor tuberculosis patients, totaling 23 people. The results showed the mean pre-testfor knowledge was 71.00 ± 8,954 and attitudes were 21.65 ± 4.074. Meanwhile, afterproviding education, the results showed the mean of knowledge is 94.70 ± 6.931 and theattitude is 25.96 ± 3140. There was a significant effect of providing lung tuberculosistransmission educational videos on increasing knowledge and attitudes in using masksin families with lung tuberculosis patients.
