Abstract

Tuberculosis accompanied by comorbidities in patients also has an impact on psychological conditions. Module-based health promotion is provided so that the patient's family plays a role in supporting the patient's mental health.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of module-based health promotion on improving family knowledge and attitudes regarding mental health of comorbid TB patients. This study was a quasi-experimental study using a pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design, comparing the control group and the intervention group.

that based on the Mann Whitney test, there was an increase in knowledge and attitudes in terms of health literacy and social support with a p value = 0.000 ˂ 0.05, which means there was a difference in knowledge scores between the pre-test and post-test after being given intervention in both the intervention group and the control group. However, there was a difference in knowledge and attitude scores in the intervention group and the control group, which showed a significant difference between the two groups.
