Abstract
Background
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading infectious diseases globally, causing high mortality rates. A significant factor contributing to this issue is nonadherence to treatment, which is influenced by family support and impacts the quality of life (QoL) of patients.
Aim
The purpose of this study was to describe the role of family support in enhancing medication adherence and improving QoL in individuals with TB.
Methods
This study utilized a scoping review method to examine literature from the PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO databases. The keywords used in the search included “social support OR online social support OR perceived social support OR family support” AND “Tuberculosis OR TB OR TBC” AND “medication adherence OR medication compliance OR drug adherence OR drug compliance OR adherence OR compliance OR lost to follow-up” AND “QoL OR HRQoL OR health-related QoL.” The inclusion criteria were full-text articles in English, primary research studies, and publications from the last 10 years (2012–2022).
Results
Thirteen articles met the inclusion criteria, with sample sizes ranging from 50 to 1342 respondents, predominantly using cross-sectional methods. The study found that family support is crucial in promoting medication adherence and positively influencing the QoL of TB patients. Family members provide emotional and practical support, including supervision of medication intake and encouragement of healthy habits. This support enhances patients' confidence, motivation, and overall treatment outcomes.
Conclusions
The findings underscore the indispensable role of family support in addressing the complex interplay between medication adherence and QoL for individuals with TB.
