Abstract
This study assess illness perception and medication adherence among tuberculosis (TB) patients and evaluate their relationship. Illness perception influences coping behaviors and medication adherence, impacting self-care and recovery.A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, from March to June 2024, involving 133 TB patients aged 18 years or older on anti-TB treatment for at least one month. Data were collected using the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and analyzed using SPSS v25. Participants were predominantly aged 30–39 years (49.6%), single (67.7%), and had moderate illness perception (77.4%). High medication adherence was observed in 64.7%. No significant association was found between illness perception and medication adherence (p = 0.298). Despite high medication adherence, illness perception had no significant impact, indicating a need for targeted strategies to enhance adherence further.
