The sampling was simple random sampling. The analysis used the chi-square test and logistic regression test with a significant value of <0.05.
Results: The results showed that there was a correlation between transmission prevention behavior and treatment compliance with perceived susceptibility with a p-value of 0.013, and there was a correlation between transmission prevention behavior and treatment compliance with perceived benefits p=0.005.The logistic regression test result showed that the most related transmission prevention behavior and treatment compliance using the health belief model on perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and cues to action.
