The intervention group (n=50) consisted of pulmonary TB patients from one hospital in Surabaya, while the comparison group (n=50) consisted of pulmonary TB patients from a regional public hospital in East Java. Results: Results showed that in the intervention group, there were significant improvements in knowledge about the disease and its treatment, motivation to continue with the medications, and treatment adherence when compared to the comparison group.
