Based on Chi Square test, there was signifi cant relationship between TB treatment phase with TB patient compliance (p = 0.03;PR =1.593). There was relationship between knowledge of MDR TB patient with TB patient compliance (p = 0.039;PR = 1.164). The conclusion is that there was relationship between TB treatment phase and knowledge of MDR TB patient with TB patient compliance in the treatment.
