The success of tuberculosis (TB) treatment is significantly dependent on patient adherence. Moreover, ensuring treatment adherence is crucial for pulmonary TB patients, as it improves positive treatment outcomes and prevents drug resistance. To enhance health literacy, self-efficacy, and treatment adherence, the current use of digital media offers a distinct opportunity for disseminating information. Therefore, this research aimed to develop EduTB as an online health information application to enhance knowledge and adherence to TB treatment. The design of EduTB included the combination of the PRECEDE-PROCEED and MATCH models, serving as a health promotion model starting with the analysis stage. This was followed by designing a TB health education model, namely Partnership Online Learning (POL). In the design stage, the model and educational product have been developed. The supporting products for the education model and testing instruments for development include validity and practicality testing on small and larger groups. The results showed that the EduTB application has been successfully developed, with a validity testing of 0.84, categorized as valid, and the practicality of 83%, classified as practical. The practicality result was based on the perception of educators in the experimental group, which was 91%, categorized as highly practical. Copyright©2024 by authors, all rights reserved.
