Quantitative findings revealed that higher education levels (OR: 2.0; 95% CI: 1.3\u20133.1), family support (OR: 1.9; 95% CI: 1.3\u20132.8), and urban residence (OR: 1.7; 95% CI: 1.1\u20132.5) were significant predictors of treatment uptake. A significant gap in the knowledge and understanding of the chronic nature of HBV among patients, with only 20.5% recognizing it as a long\u2010term condition and need for family counseling, was noted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Interpretation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings highlight the importance of incorporating patient values and lived experiences into HBV care models and policy development.
