The independent variables are perceived vulnerability, severity, barriers, cues for action, perceived benefits and self-efficacy. Adherence to taking medication in tuberculosis patients as the dependent variable. The results showed that simultaneously there was an effect of variable X on Y with a significance value of 0.000 and a large effect of 10.2%. And simultaneously it shows that there is an influence of variables X and Y with a significance value of 0.000 and a large influence of 12.8%. Data analysis using path analysis.
