Abstract
To provide optimal treatment for tuberculosis (TB), an interprofessional team is required, but most hospitals cannot provide such standards. A potential alternative method for better medication adherence is telecare. This study aims to develop a telecare service based on interprofessional collaboration to elevate medication adherence and enhance therapy outcomes for individuals with tuberculosis. The research was a single-blind randomized control trial. Data collection was carried out at three points: baseline, one month, and three months post-intervention. The primary outcome measured was the bacterial conversion, while secondary outcomes included medication adherence and the quality of TB patients� lives. Using an individually randomized sample, 100 patients (50 patients per group) were selected. The instruments used included the medication adherence rating scale-5, knowledge questionnaire, and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire. Data were analyzed with Mann-Whitney test. A significant difference was observed in the knowledge scores between the control and experimental groups, indicated by a p-value of 0.007 (p < 0.05). The experimental group showed a higher median score (76.92) compared to the control group (61.54). Significant differences were also observed in the medication (p = 0.008, p < 0.05). In the experimental group, 50 patients demonstrated higher medication adherence (median score 25.00). Regarding patients� quality of life, a significant difference was observed between the two groups. The control experimental group had better quality of life. Overall, the study concluded that telecare-based interprofessional collaboration had a positive impact on improving knowledge, medication adherence, quality of life in TB patients and bacterial conversion. © 2025 Octavia et al.
