Tuberculosis (TB) is a communicable disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB can attack lung tissue or other organs of the body. Based on data from WHO in 2019, Indonesia was in third ranks as the country with the highest TB cases with the case number in 2018 was 842,000 cases. Tuberculosis' treatment in Indonesia uses the DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short-Course) strategy that focuses on direct-observation of patients in taking medication. This research aims to determine the level of adherence, education, attitudes, and behaviour of the patient as well as the correlation between adherence to each KAP variable in the Puskesmas Puter and Puskesmas Sekeloa to establish a better therapeutic strategy. This research was a descriptive cross-sectional observational study conducted concurrently. The study was held in 35 respondents with a direct interview method to patients/parents (for patients with <12 years) using MMAS-8 (Modified Morisky Adherence Scale) and TB-KAP (Tuberculosis-Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice) questionnaires. The analysis of results was divided into three clusters, namely patients ?12 years in the Puskesmas Puter, patients ?12 years in Puskesmas Sekeloa, and patients <12 years in both puskesmas. In all three clusters, generally, respondents have a moderate level of compliance (65- 86%), a good level of knowledge (80-91%), a positive attitude (71-96%), and positive behaviour (80- 100%). There was no significant correlation between adherence to demographics, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours in patients ?12 years at Puskesmas Puter and patients <12 years in both puskesmas. In patients ?12 years in Puskesmas Sekeloa, there was a correlation between adherence and knowledge with the significance value p<0.05 (0.008), but there was no significant correlation between adherence to the demographic, attitudes, and behaviour of the patient.
