knowledge (p<0.05), attitude (p<0.05), action ( p<0.05) with the incidence of
multidrug resistant tuberculosis, while the variables that were not related to the
incidence of multidrug resistant tuberculosis were education (p>0.05) and
employment (p>0.05). Patients are advised to increase knowledge regarding
