Some of the factors that influence this are the negative stigma against the disease, at RSUD Dr. Adjidarmo Lebak, precisely in the Anggur room in 2022, there were 466 cases of Pulmonary Tuberculosis patients. Until now there is still a growing assumption in the community that TB is a hereditary disease that is difficult to overcome. This assumption makes many TB patients do not want to seek treatment because of shame and plus the family also tends to cover up the condition of the disease, Motivation has an influence on the success of treatment, especially pulmonary TB patients so that their desire and willingness to be able to behave obediently in treatment, a person's motivation to recover can affect adherence to taking medication in tuberculosis patients.
