Abstract

The emergence of side effects in the use of anti-tuberculosis drugs is reported to disrupt daily activities; thus, it can affect the quality of life of TB patients. This study aims to determine the relationship between the side effects of anti-tuberculosis drugs and TB patients’ quality of life. This research was conducted in April-July 2019 at Respira Hospital Yogyakarta, involving 35 tuberculosis patients who routinely underwent treatment. This study used a prospective observational study design with a case-control method with interviews and WHOQOL-BREF (WHO Quality of Life-BREF) questionnaire. A total of 35 patients (100%) experienced side effects of tuberculosis treatment. A total of 33 patients (94.3%) had a good quality of life, and two other patients (5.7%) had a poor quality of life. The relationship between side effects and quality of life was divided into two categories: the severity of side effects and interference with side effects on daily activities. A total of 23 patients (65.8%) experienced mild side effects, and 12 patients (34.2%) experienced severe side effects. A total of 16 patients (45.7%) admitted that side effects did not interfere with activity, nine patients (25.7%) claimed side effects interfered with activity, and ten patients (28.9%) claimed side effects significantly interfered with activity. The relationship between the severity of side effects with quality of life obtained a p-value > 0.05 with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 1.2 (95% Cl = 0.932-1.546). The relationship between drug side effects and quality of life obtained p-value > 0.05. Both p-values indicated no significant relationship. Thus, it can be said that the side effect of the TB-drug did not significantly affect TB patients’ quality of life.
