The data of study were collected with \u2018Patient and Contact Question Form\u2019, Tuberculosis Adherence Determination Questionnaire (TADQ) and \u2018Morisky 8-Item Adherence to Drug Questionnaire\u2019 (MMAS-8).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>TADQ scores of the TB intervention group in the beginning, 1st, 3rd and 6th months were 80.4 (7.9), 117.8 (6.3), 137.7 (7.5), 143.2 (4.5), respectively, and TADQ scores of the TB control group in the beginning, 1st, 3rd and 6th months were 88.1 (7.1), 84.5 (9.8), 75.9 (7.9), 65.2 (9.2), respectively. MMAS-8 scores of the contacted intervention group in the beginning, 1st, 3rd and 6th months were 3.6 (1.3), 5.5 (0.7), 7.2 (0.8) and 7.7 (0.7), and those of the control group were 5.7 (1.4), 4.3 (1.4), 1.8 (1.5) and 0.7 (1.4), respectively.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st4\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>As a result of 6 months of regular training, tele-monitoring and daily text message, adherence of the patients to TB treatment increased, and the adherence of the contacted people to the medication increased. Nurses should take an active role in the management of TB, determine the patients who do not use drugs correctly in the early period and apply the required interventions as soon as possible to improve treatment adherence of TB patients and contacts.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/nmji_1061_2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,28]],"date-time":"2025-06-28T15:50:01Z","timestamp":1751125801000},"page":"69-77","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The effect of telephone follow-up and training on treatment adherence in tuberculosis patients and contacts: A randomized controlled study"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"SEMA","family":"AYTA\u00c7","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00d6ZLEM","family":"OVAYOLU","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/NMJI_1061_2022\/ref-1","article-title":"What is TB?","author":"World Health Organization (WHO)","year":"2018","journal-title":"How is it treated?"},{"article-title":"Stop TB field guide 6: Using contact investigation to improve TB case detection","year":"2018","author":"United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS)","key":"10.25259\/NMJI_1061_2022\/ref-2"},{"volume-title":"\u00d6zkara \u015e","year":"2010","author":"\u00d6zkara","key":"10.25259\/NMJI_1061_2022\/ref-4"},{"key":"10.25259\/NMJI_1061_2022\/ref-5","first-page":"75","article-title":"One of the major problems in tuberculosis control: Adherence to therapy","volume":"8","author":"Kara","year":"2009","journal-title":"TAF Prev Med Bull"},{"key":"10.25259\/NMJI_1061_2022\/ref-6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"152","DOI":"10.7883\/yoken.JJID.2005.152","article-title":"Which patients are able to adhere to tuberculosis treatment?
