Abstract
<p><strong>Background</strong> physical self-care is necessary to gain patient involvement in health care in order to improve health outcome among tuberculosis patients. However, Factors related to support of physical self-care among patient tuberculosis under treatment was very rarely considered. This study aimed to identify the correlation between coping strategy, self-care management process and family well-being as factors associated with physical self-care. <strong>Method: </strong>A correlation study was conducted among forty-five of tuberculosis patients using purposive sampling. Data were collected within follow up session after implementing self-management support intervention by using physical self-care, coping strategy, self-care management process and family well-being questionnaire. Pearson test was used to analyze the data. <strong>Result: </strong>There were a significant association between self-care management process (r= 0.590; p=0.000), family well-being (children) (r=0.331; p=0.000) and physical self-care. However, there were no relationship between family well-being (parent) (p=0.789), coping strategy (p=0.874) and physical self-care among tuberculosis patient. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Self-care management process and family well-being on children are essential factors to improve physical self-care among tuberculosis patient. Therefore, intervention which integrate those factors are important to enhance physical self-care among patients with tuberculosis</p>

Summary
Tuberculosis is one of the most infectious diseases leading to a high mortality rate on a worldwide scale (WHO, 2017). In 2017, 10.0 million people had tuberculosis disease; 5.8 million men, 3.2 million women and 1.0 million children (WHO, 2017). Indonesia has become the top 3rd country after India and China in the WHO’s list of the 30 highest TB infected countries with 8% of the population suffering from tuberculosis disease (World Health Organization [WHO], 2018). In 2017, the incidence of drug resistance was announced as a crisis in Indonesia where it was estimated at about 32.000 people or 12/100.000 population (WHO, 2018). Several studies have revealed that patient characteristics such as being previously treated with anti-TB drugs, living in a rural setting, being a smoker, being an alcoholic, chewing tobacco, having a body mass index below the normal range, and having a low socioeconomic status are the most common causes of MDR-TB
