Methods: This research is a type of quantitative descriptive research conducted in April 2023 at Tabanan Health Center. Measurements were carried out using TPB (Theory of Planned Behavior) questionnaires. Results: This study presents that most respondents had attitudes with enough categories , while the fewer categories amounted and the good category amounted. Conclusion: We found that 57% of respondents suffering from tuberculosis at the Tabanan Health Center had adequate behavior.
